Seoul, March 24 (Jiji Press)–A car veered onto a sidewalk in central Seoul on Monday evening, injuring four people, including two Japanese women, South Korean media reported. In the accident that occurred in the Hongdae district around 7:10 p.m. Japan time, one Japanese woman was severely injured after her leg was run over by the car and was taken to a hospital. The other three suffered minor injuries. Police arrested the driver, a man in his 50s, on suspicion of drunken driving after alcohol was detected in his system. In a separate case last November, a car driven by a drunken driver struck a Japanese tourist in her 50s and her daughter near Dongdaemun Station in central Seoul, leaving the mother dead.
