[Report]

A vehicle hit parked cars and came to a brief stop.

Attempting to make a right turn, it collided multiple times and finally made the turn, but then stopped for about two minutes.

However, it suddenly accelerated.

Even after hitting a vehicle, the driver continued to press the accelerator, moving back and forth and hitting vehicles one after another.

Residents, startled by the sound of the accident, hurriedly rushed outside.

Around 1 AM today, a car driven by a drunken driver in his 70s hit four parked vehicles in succession.

Due to the impact of the accident, the parked vehicles collided with each other, resulting in damage to a total of six vehicles.

The driver's blood alcohol concentration was at a level that would warrant a license suspension.

This is the scene of the accident.

Tire marks left by the accident vehicle are clearly visible on the parking lot floor.

[Victim vehicle owner/voice altered: "There was such a loud noise.... It sounded like something was exploding. Since I can't use my car now, I'm very angry."]

The police have charged the driver with drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act and are investigating the circumstances of the accident.
