On September 29, Gwangju Nambu Police Station announced that it is investigating a man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, on suspicion of violating the Road Traffic Act.

Mr. A is accused of driving a friend's vehicle in the early morning hours, around 2:10 a.m., along a back street in Wolsan-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju, Jeonnam, where he sideswiped nine parked cars in succession.

At the time of the accident, Mr. A's blood alcohol level was found to be high enough for his license to be revoked.

Police, who arrived at the scene after receiving a resident's report, found Mr. A semi-conscious and unresponsive inside the vehicle. They also discovered evidence that charcoal briquettes had been lit inside the car.
