| Source: YouTube's 'Han Mooncheol TV' Three female students were captured riding a scooter at an intersection in Bongmyeong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, on March 17, 2023 |
An elderly couple walking in a park was hit by an electric scooter operated by a high school student, killing his wife.
It is illegal to ride an electric scooter in the park, but the students were unlicensed and without helmets, and there were two people on one scooter at the same time.
An ambulance pulls up in the middle of the park.
Firefighters administer first aid to two people who have collapsed.
At around 7 p.m. on the 8th of last month, an elderly couple in their 60s who were taking a walk in Ilsan Lake Park in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, were hit by an electric scooter that came from behind and were taken to the hospital unconscious.
An electric scooter carrying two high school students hit the back of the couple, who were walking on the right side of the road.
The wife died of a traumatic brain hemorrhage within a few days of the accident, and the husband is undergoing psychiatric treatment due to the trauma of the accident.
The rest of the family is also living in pain every day.
"When I look at the backs of my classmates, I wonder if it's my mother... I think of her every day," said a family member.
The students involved claim that they were trying to avoid the bicyclist.
But under current law, it's illegal to ride a motorized scooter in a park.
The students were not wearing helmets and two people were riding at the same time, both of which are illegal.
"When there are two people on the scooter, it becomes more dangerous because of the angle of the turn, the weight, and the speed," said Kim Pil-soo, a professor of automotive engineering at Daelim University.
The police are investigating the two students on suspicion of negligence resulting in death under the Traffic Accident Act.
The students also did not have a motorcycle license, and if the road where the crash occurred is classified as a road under the Road Traffic Act, they could face a charge of unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a 12 categories of gross negligence offense.
