At 4 a.m. on the 19th, a car crashed down a cliff on the Jeju coastal road.
When the vehicle fell down a cliff more than 10 meters, a woman in her 80s was killed and the driver, a man in his 40s, was seriously injured.
A driver who fled the scene immediately after the accident called for rescue.
As a result of the police investigation, it was confirmed that they had a mother-son relationship.
The police have been investigating this accident with particular weight on intentionality.
This is because the cliff and the road where the accident occurred were some distance away, so it was difficult to see them due to inexperienced operation.
As a result of the police analyzing the nearby CCTV, the stopped vehicle rushed to the cliff, and the driver was not in a state of drinking.
In addition, we also secured a statement that the son, Mr. A, was trying to make an extreme choice with his mother.
Her mother is said to have suffered from dementia.
[Byun Dae-sik/Criminal Division Chief of Jeju Western Police Station: After conducting a face-to-face investigation against the driver, it was confirmed that 'I was going to commit suicide with you', but other additional information (to be investigated)]
The police have booked his son A on charges of homicide and aiding suicide, and are investigating the exact motive for the crime.
In addition, the vehicle, which was completely damaged by high waves, will be salvaged in four days and the vehicle operation recorder will be precisely analyzed.
