Immediately after the accident, the driver got out of the car, examined the victim's condition for a while, and immediately fled the scene without providing relief.

A man in his 30s who was hit by a car suffered serious head injuries and was taken to hospital but has not regained consciousness.

The driver of the vehicle pulled over to his home about five minutes away and returned to the scene to watch the victim being transported.

[THE WITNESS: He (the driver) told me he was the first reporter, and he stayed with him until the end. I asked, did you bump into it? I didn't bump into it. Now that I see the dashcam or something like that, I bumped into it.]

The driver, who was arrested at home two hours after the accident, was a man in his 5s who had a blood-alcohol level of alcohol at the level of a suspended license.

Police have charged the man with a drunken hit-and-run and are reviewing an application for an arrest warrant.
