Nine pedestrians killed after being hit by car in South Korean capital


A driver in South Korea is being investigated for accidental homicide after his car struck pedestrians at a crowded intersection in Seoul, killing nine people and injuring six others. The driver, a bus driver in his late 60s with 40 years of driving experience, claimed that his car accelerated abruptly and unintentionally. Police have confirmed that he was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The incident occurred on Monday night when the driver’s car reportedly went in the wrong direction and collided with two other cars before hitting pedestrians at the intersection. The driver has been detained pending further investigation, and his car will be sent for examination by the country’s forensic agency.

Police are considering seeking a formal arrest warrant to extend the driver’s detention if necessary for the investigation. The identity of the driver has not been disclosed, citing privacy regulations, but South Korean media have reported his occupation and age.

The tragic accident has shocked the city of Seoul and raised concerns about pedestrian safety at intersections. The investigation will seek to determine the cause of the accident and whether any negligence or mechanical failure played a role in the driver’s loss of control of his vehicle.
