Police officials talk about an autopsy and Daesung:

According to the police taxi driver Mr. Kim (64) was driving from the north end of Yanghwa Bridge towards the south end when he spotted Mr. Hyun (30) who had passed out. He parked his car in front of Mr. Hyun and was examining his surroundings when Daesung’s Audi, which was going at 60km/hour, hit the back of the taxi that hit the driver

Immediately after the accident, Daesung came out of his car to ask whether the taxi driver was okay and then discovered that the motorcyclist was dead and reported this to the police.

The police confirmed that the taxi driver and Daesung’s report is consistent with what they saw through the taxi’s black box screen and explained that the taxi driver and Daesung both were not under the influence after surveying blood alchohol levels.

Daesung said to the police “I suddenly saw the car and I felt something clattering”

Police officials said, “The exact cause of the death of the driver of the motorcycle is still unknown. Depending on whether the driver died as a result of Daesung’s accident, the charges to Daesung will vary.”

The police investigating this case also revealed that an autopsy is being scheduled in order to determine the exact cause of the motorcyclist’s death.

UPDATE:

“This is what the news are reporting on tv. Daesung ran over the already dead body and when the taxi stopped in front of the body to check on it, Daesung crashed into the taxi. The taxi driver changed lanes when he noticed the motorcyclist and stopped, got out and tried to dial 119. Mind you, this is already dark outside so Daesung driving behind the taxi driver didn’t see the body and ran over it and then hit the taxi since he couldn’t react fast enough. The taxi driver is not injured..no matter what people will put the blame on Daesung.”

Basically the motorcyclist was in between Daesung’s car and the taxi. Daesung hit the already unconscious and perhaps dead motorcyclist and then he hit the taxi because he wasn’t able to break fast enough.


The Korean media is reporting that as of 6:50AM KST, Daesung has completed five hours of initial investigations with the police, and is making his way home.

The star was described to have worn a black hoodie over his face while leaving the police station with his manager.

Police commented, “Daesung was overwhelmed with the accident today, but he diligently took part in the investigations.
