Shocking words from an 80-year-old unlicensed driver who hit and seriously injured an elementary school student in South Korea

It was reported that an elementary school student was hit by a car driven by an unlicensed driver in his 80s on his way to school and suffered serious injuries. According to JTBC's "Case Leader" broadcast on the 11th, on the 1st of last month, a second-grader named A was hit by a car driven by an unlicensed driver in his 80s and suffered serious injuries.
While on her way to school, her daughter, a 1st grader, was hit by a car turning right while crossing the street at a green light. Ms. A received a call from an unknown phone number saying, "My child has been injured." She tried to contain her surprise and do her best.
They rushed to the scene. The child was bruised and covered in blood. He had three broken permanent teeth and even had broken bones in his face, and was taken to the hospital.
Mr. A said, "After the driver caused the accident, he did not take prompt action and said, 'I'm not that kind of person. I was the principal.'
"He just said absurd things," he claimed. But that wasn't the only shocking thing. The driver, who was in his 80s, was without a driver's license at the time of the accident. The driver had passed the aptitude test for renewing his driver's license.
Because he did not receive the license, he continued driving without a license as of January 1st of this year, and ended up causing a serious accident.
Furthermore, according to witnesses at the scene of the accident, the driver said after the accident, "Huh? Did I get run over?"
The driver was sent to the prosecutor's office on suspicion of causing injury under the Special Act on Traffic Accidents, violating the duty to protect pedestrians at crosswalks, and driving without a license.
As the driver had violated two of the 12 serious negligences, Mr. A naturally expected that he would be severely punished. However, contrary to his expectations, the prosecution issued a "summary order" to the driver on the 4th of this month.
Summary orders are a system in which prosecutors determine that a criminal allegation is minor and deal with it through simplified procedures such as a fine without holding a formal trial.
The driver told Mr. A, "I've never experienced anything like this in my 80 years of life. I was completely at fault, so please forgive me.
He apologized, saying, "I hope they will do their utmost to resolve the situation," but he also said the unbelievable, "It was unlucky. It could have been a much bigger accident."
He was reported to have even said, "I want him to receive the best possible treatment." Mr. A said, "I plan to file a petition with the court and also pursue a civil lawsuit," expressing his frustration at the lukewarm punishment given to the driver.
The injured child is still undergoing treatment at a plastic surgery clinic, and although the three permanent teeth that were broken in the accident have been fixed, they will not be able to get implants until they become adults.
No treatment is possible.
