On a rainy day a middle aged woman was driving onto the field of a high school campus. While not paying attention, she accidentally hit a high school girl who was walking by. The female driver accidentally hits the girl, panics and starts screaming, then proceeds to accelerate instead of hitting the break. With the high school girl still pinned to the front of her car she slams into another vehicle about 10 meters in front of her. Still screaming, she leaves the girl pinned there, possibly hitting the gas a few more times. It isn’t until the driver in the vehicle in front of her comes around to inspect what she had done to his car, does he see the pinned girl, get back in his car and presumably un-pin her. The video stops as the driver of the vehicle in front realizes what has happened and jumps back into his car.
The video is shot from the black box in the woman driver’s car. The Video has three copies up on youtube which have cumulatively been viewed over 1.5 million times in the past three days.. There are also many copies on Korean video sites, gaining 100 000s of views each.
The girl is now in critical conditions with internal organ damage.
Netizens not surprisingly reacted with disgust at the actions of the woman. Netizens have also suggested that it was the husband who originally uploaded the video, and that the daughter of the woman posted a comment defending her.
The incident is refereed to in news articles as the Mrs. Kim School Grounds Incident.
[Some viewers might find the content of the following video disturbing]
Comments from Daum:
Note: Mrs. Kim is a name frequently given to women drivers who hog the road and don’t know how to drive. perceived as a rich house wife who does nothing. Kind of like a trophy wife (but not necessarily pretty). The driver in the video is most likely NOT actually named Mrs. Kim.

There aren’t only one or two Mrs. Kims in our society. When I see them drive, it makes me start to think poorly of all women. This driver doesn’t even obey the basic safety rules, even after the accident she continues to do nothing! Is it because she is embarrassed???
When a doctor is operating and he looks somewhere else, and he cuts the wrong spot, does he get flustered from embarrassment and cut deeper? That isn’t a good enough excuse.
This is the exact same. You shouldn’t be able to get your driver’s license if you are the kind of person who might endanger someone else’s life and property just because you aren’t paying attention.
I think even her husband and daughter are partly to blame for this accident… [Koreans believe families are responsible for all their members]
It is too bad that only that student was hurt. [inferring it would be good if the driving woman was hurt too]
n-time
I can still hear that bitch screaming in my ears..
니하오
That kind of stupid ajuma (married woman) deserves all the blame she is getting.
살아있거나
It looks like the female high school student who was hit, will be paralyzed from the waist down. Actually since the girl bounced off the front of the car when she was first hit, I would have been surprised if she was ok. [even without being squished after]
She might survive, but I don’t think surviving and living are the same thing.Even though the husband personally shared the car’s black box video of a person gruesomely dying, how can he continuing living with that woman who was just screaming ‘Guwek! Guwek!’ I also saw the comment from the daughter of the driver who said ‘she has been nice her whole life, please don’t be mean to my mother.’
살아있거나
To all of you who are disparaging her, since it seems you have never driven, when you get flustered it can be difficult to distinguish the accelerator from the brake and you could end up being a murderer.So if you are not that good at handling stress, you shouldn’t be driving. Let’s pray that that woman and her family suffer the rest of their lives, as much as the victim.

I think the couple should both be blamed. [Husband and wife] This is the first time I have seen so many comments that I cannot disagree with. When driving if you don’t want to be help responsible you need to pay careful attention. But she was driving in front of a school, without paying any attention to the safety of others. After the highschool girl was crushed by the car, the husband must have been thinking how can we save face?.. Anyways everyone should be careful when driving.

I saw the video without any buffering [clearly. Videos are harder to follow when their is constant buffering] and it made me so angry. After hitting and crushing a person, she just squealed like a crazy bitch… We need to increase the requirements for getting a driver’s license, because right now it is lacking.The crazy fucking government made getting a drivers license so simple, that it is now basically a license to kill people.
로토키스트
The attacker was chatting with someone beside her. She let go of the break, and because it is a car, it slowly moved forward. Of course the student using the umbrella couldn’t see the car. When the student come into the driving woman’s view, she is surprised and instead of hitting the break she hits the gas. When the woman hit the gas, the car sprung forward and hit the student. Then when the woman got flustered she just screamed like a bitch [like a dog..] and continued pushing the accelerator. (Of course she thought it was the break). This accident will be one of the biggest grievances between females, particularly towards married women. When she is on a road and sees a child come out of nowhere, her reflex is to slam the accelerator. I think after she hit the student, she continued to accelerate until she was bumping up against the car in front of her.

When it comes to this kind of accident… When I see the video I don’t have anything to say. I think women who can’t drive, plan to kill people.
Her fucking husband just as responsible for the deed as his female half (wife). They should find the student and apologize.
뭉게구름
I agree.

There was a movie called ‘Why don’t you help me?’.. We watched it during a class on Japanese culture class, and it blew my mind… Japan…

Why did you bring your car onto the school grounds [field]? Even though you aren’t allowed to drive into the school like that you just took the opportunity. They need to more strictly enforce the rules. The responsibility first falls on all those who work at the school, to not allow any cars to drive onto the school grounds.This needs rules need to be cast in stone. They should hope for the student’s recovery and the authorities need to take measures to ensure something like this never happens again.

I thought it was just a small accident, but after seeing the video where the driver hits the student and crushes her against the car in front.
After bumping into the girl, if she had just stopped, she would have only been in the hospital for one or two weeks… But now unfortunately she will be hanging onto life in the intensive care unit.

It isn’t that the gear wasn’t working, but actually because she was concentrating on screaming, she couldn’t find the right gear. Even though I saw the video, it provides no explanation.
