A hit-and-run incident involving an unidentified driver on an electric scooter left a 9-year-old girl injured in Gwangju, South Korea.
On October 1, a post titled "Please help find the hit-and-run driver who hit my daughter" appeared on the online community Bobae Dream. The girl's father, Mr. A, reported that the incident occurred on September 23 at around 4:30 p.m. near the underpass behind Dosan Station, where two foreign individuals on an electric scooter struck his daughter and fled the scene.
Mr. A stated, "As a result of the incident, my daughter lost two teeth, and the remaining tooth is fractured in a way that is not promising. She is now at risk of losing three teeth altogether."
