The Supreme Court on Wednesday finalized a 10-year prison term for a hit-and-run driver who killed a pedestrian by driving his Rolls-Royce onto a sidewalk while under the influence of drugs.
The accident happened in near Apgujeong Station in Sinsa-dong, southern Seoul in August 2023.
The victim, aged 27, was on her way home after working a part-time job. She died in November last year.
He then left the scene without taking any measures to deal with the accident.
The 28-year-old driver, identified only by his surname Shin, was initially given a 20-year jail term by the district court, but the sentence was reduced by half on appeal.
