SEOUL: South Korea's top court on Thursday (Dec 4) upheld a lower court ruling that sentenced a 69-year-old man to five years in prison without physical labour for causing a car accident last year that left nine people dead and five injured.
The defendant drove his car onto the pavement near City Hall Station in Jung-gu, central Seoul, at 9.26pm on July 1, 2024, striking multiple pedestrians before colliding with two vehicles.
