A car crashes into a median and stops in the middle of the road.



Smoke billows from the vehicle, and a man steps out of the driver's seat and looks around for a while.



This is my third year in high school, this is my aunt.



Lee went back to the car and looked inside, and pulled out a friend of the opposite sex, A, who was in the passenger seat.



Miss A is in a state of unconsciousness due to the shock of the accident.



Lee did not call 911 and dragged Miss A to the corner of the motel parking lot next door.



As the guests' reports continued, Lee left Miss A and fled to the mountain behind the motel.



[Accident Witness: I had to look for the injured person, but I was staying in the dormitory because I thought they came this way, so I looked around the parking lot and found a woman (another guest) behind it...

Whether this military was caught, around 5:50 a.m., about an hour after the accident occurred.



The police caught him hiding in the hills and trying to escape in a taxi.



Although Lee was not under the influence of alcohol, it was revealed that he stole a car and drove without a license.



It is said that Lee told the police that he had run away in a moment of fear.



[Jeong Gyeong-il / Attorney (Traffic Accident Specialist): If the victim moves to another location and runs away, it is not a simple hit and run under the Special Act, but an 'organic escape after injury', and the punishment will be heavier with a prison sentence of 3 years or more.



] We plan to apply for an arrest warrant against the military for hit and run, vehicle theft, and driving without a license.



Meanwhile, Ms. A, who was taken to the hospital, suffered serious head injuries and fell unconscious.
