About Daesung’s Car Accident in 2011
The Accident
On May 31st, at approximately 1:30 AM, Yeongdeungpo police
responded to an emergency 119 call (the Korean equivalent of 911)
from nearby Yanghwa Bridge, an eight-lane bridge that crosses over the
Han River.
When they arrived on the scene, they found a taxi rear-ended by
Daesung’s Audi and a nearby motorcyclist sprawled on the ground,
along with his trashed motorcycle.
The taxi driver had first spotted the motorcyclist, Hyun, lying on the
ground, and had successfully maneuvered his taxi to a stop and had
turned on the emergency lights. Daesung’s Audi was separated from the
taxi by another car, who managed to successfully avoid the crash site.
However, Daesung was unable to maneuver away in time and crashed
into the taxi, running over the motorcyclist in the process.
Through ensuing investigations, it was revealed that Daesung hadn’t
been driving under the influence.
