The drunk driving incident was in Itaewon. The incident you are talking about happen just the other day on Highway 3. What I was told was that the scooter had a woman and a baby on it and it ran a read light and hit the US van that was driving through the green light. This has the potential of getting ugly because the soldiers in the van were in uniform on duty which causes them to fall underneath the SOFA. I can already here the cries of the unfair SOFA coming now.

LOL, hey, as long as the US Army is in Korea, they'll always get blamed. Heres some reasoning I ran into about an auto accident, "well, if you werent stationed here, this accident wouldnt have happend," it was clearly the other guys fault. The natives were getting restless, ready for a riot, when thank god the cops finally appeared, and yes, the other driver got the ticket for running the stop sign. As for blackmarketing, in 71 it was bad, and its obvious no one is serious about stopping it as its now 2005, LOL. When Korea decides to open its markets to free trade, only then will the blackmarketing go away.

Was the drunk driving incident in Dongducheon? Last Monday, there was an accident between a USFK van and a scooter (the van won) that left one Korean dead and another in critical condition. I can't link an article to it. I heard that one died from a Korean teacher and saw the scooter pulled out from under the van after finishing school.
