肇事 (zhào shì): 사고를 일으키다.

That driver drove after drinking and ended up hitting and injuring a pedestrian at the intersection; after causing the accident, he actually fled the scene.

The police quickly identified the vehicle that caused the accident through surveillance footage and arrested the suspect that evening.

The person who caused this traffic accident is a young man who just got his driver's license; he lost control because he was speeding.

Because the party at fault refused to pay compensation, the victim's family decided to file a lawsuit in court, demanding that the other party bear full responsibility.
