A man in his 40s has been arrested after causing a fatal hit-and-run accident during his morning commute to work. The Ulsan Northern Police Department announced on June 4 that the suspect, identified as A, was charged with fleeing the scene of a deadly accident under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes.

The incident occurred on June 2 at approximately 7:07 AM in the Shinmyeong-dong area of Ulsan, where A allegedly struck an electric cart driven by a man in his 60s and then fled the scene. The driver of the electric cart, referred to as B, died as a result of the collision, while B's wife, who was also in the cart, sustained serious injuries.
