According to Yonhap News on August 10, the Okcheon Police Station in North Chungcheong Province has booked a woman in her 60s, identified as A, without detention on suspicion of death by traffic accident under the Special Act on the Handling of Traffic Accidents. She is being investigated for running over and killing her mother-in-law, who was in her 90s, while parking her vehicle in her home garage.

A is suspected of accidentally striking and killing her mother-in-law, B (a woman in her 90s), who was sitting on the floor of a detached house garage in Cheongseong-myeon, Okcheon County, while parking her car at around 2 p.m. the previous day.

It was found that after returning from church with her husband, A was head-in parking her car in the garage when the front of the vehicle struck B. B sustained severe injuries in the incident and was transported to the hospital, but died afterward.

The entrance to the garage is sloped, which made it difficult for A to see the garage floor from the driver’s seat.

Police stated that A testified, "I only realized what had happened after I got out of the car."

The police are conducting a detailed investigation into the exact circumstances of the incident, based on family statements that B often took breaks in the garage.
