The court judged that just driving the victims of the traffic accident near the hospital and giving them the contact information did not make all the relief measures required of the perpetrators of the accident.



According to the legal profession, A (51) hit a high school student who was crossing a crosswalk while driving on a road in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon last summer.



Mr. A picked up the victim of an accident that was shocked enough to fall by flying a few meters in his vehicle and dropped it off near the hospital and left.



He also handed over a memo with his cell phone number to the victim.



The police, who checked the facts based on the victim's 112 report, reported that Mr. A did not take necessary measures as a vehicle driver, and sent it to the prosecution for violating the Act on aggravated punishment for certain crimes (fleeing victims), and the prosecution was also prosecuted. I did.



Mr. A defended at the trial, "I gave the victim the phone number to contact the victim and took the license plate," he said. "It cannot be considered as fleeing, and there was no intention of fleeing."



However, the court judged that it was not enough just to drive the victim, who is a youth, to the vicinity of the hospital, and sentenced A to one year in prison and two years probation.



The defendant immediately met an acquaintance and drank alcohol without filing for medical treatment or even filing an accident with the insurance company that subscribed to his vehicle, which he pointed out as an incomprehensible behavior.



Criminal Section 12 of the Daejeon District Court (Director Judge Lee Chang-gyeong) said, "Is it a more urgent business to have a meal appointment than to treat the victim?" and "There is a situation that the defendant smelled alcohol at the time, and whether the defendant had an accident while drinking alcohol?" It's even quite suspicious."



The Court of Appeals, which looked at the accused's misunderstanding and improper sentencing, saw that there was no problem with the court's judgment.



Criminal Division 1 (Deputy Judge Lee Joon-myeong) of the Daejeon High Court, who dismissed the defendant's appeal, said, "It doesn't seem that there was an inevitable circumstance that the defendant could not take the victim to the hospital." It was not registered as" he emphasized.
