A six-year-old girl was pronounced dead at a hospital after falling out of a Taekwando academy bus, Yongin Police Department confirmed Wednesday.



On Monday, the girl surnamed Yang fell out of the hagwon car due to the unlocked door that had swung open as it drove, resulting in a severe head injury with external bleeding.



"The car drove abruptly without even checking if the door was closed properly, and my baby just dropped out on to the streets," Yang's mother was quoted as saying.



The hagwon had reportedly put Yang back in the car and drove back to the hagwon in order to take the other students in for class.



An ambulance was called after a period of 10 minutes after arriving at the hagwon.



Firefighters were quoted as saying that the girl was taken to the emergency room at "a distance from the site of the accident," and that her breathing seemed to be getting weaker when they first saw her.



"At first she did have a pulse, but by the time we reached the hospital, it was almost gone," a firefighter said.



The students that had been in the same car as Yang are currently in a state of shock.



A fellow student's mother said, "I have to give my kids a tranquilizer or something, because he keeps saying that he's scared and won't even talk to me."



There were no assistant teachers in supervision at the time of Yang's accident, nor were there proper safety checks for belts and doors, the police confirmed.



Police are to file an arrest warrant for the driver surnamed Kim, 36, within today.
