Drunk Driver Crashes SUV Into Restaurant in Naju, South Korea

A restaurant in Naju, South Jeolla Province, South Korea, sustained significant damage when an SUV plowed through its exterior wall and into the interior late Tuesday night. The driver, a woman in her 50s, was reportedly intoxicated at the time of the crash.

The incident occurred around 11:13 p.m. local time in the NamPyeong district. The SUV, driven by the woman identified as 'A,' collided with the restaurant's outer wall, breaching the glass and entering the establishment. While the vehicle caused considerable structural damage, emergency services confirmed that no one inside the restaurant or the driver sustained any injuries.

Authorities investigating the scene determined that the driver, 'A,' was operating her vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Preliminary tests indicated a blood alcohol content level that would typically lead to a driver's license suspension in South Korea. Police have taken the driver into custody and are investigating her for violations of traffic laws, specifically related to drunk driving.
