Comprehensively taking account of the following circumstances acknowledged by the lower court’s judgment as to the assertion of mistake of facts and the evidence duly admitted and investigated by this court, the Defendant’s negligence (hereinafter “instant accident”) as stated in the facts constituting the crime in the lower judgment may be sufficiently recognized as having caused a traffic accident by the Defendant, and the escape after recognizing the same.

① CCTV 사고영상 CD에 의하면, 피고인이 1차로에서 차량의 방향지시등을 켜고 2차로로 진로를 변경하는 시점에 가해차량과 피해차량의 거리는 상당히 밀접했고, 피고인이 진로를 변경하자마자 바로 이 사건 사고가 발생하였고, 그 직후 가해차량은 속도를 줄이며 멈칫거리다가 그대로 진행하여 갔다.

② 피고인이 방향지시등을 켠 점에 비추어 보면, 피고인은 자신이 진로를 변경한다는 사실을 인식한 것으로 보인다.

또한 가해차량이 속도를 줄이며 멈칫거렸다는 점에 비추어 보면, 피고인은 이 사건 사고의 발생사실도 인식한 것으로 보인다.

In addition, considering the time interval between the change of course and the occurrence of the instant accident and the location of the instant accident, the Defendant was unable to recognize the existence of the damaged vehicle at the time of change of course, as alleged by the Defendant.

Even if the defendant, at least recognized the occurrence of the instant accident, he would have been aware that his career change was the cause of the instant accident.

(3) The defendant has consistently committed the instant accident from the investigative agency.
