Actor Jung Won Joong will see the traffic light installed at the spot where he had a crash with motorcyclist.
On November 6th, the police and the country office in Yangpeong recently started construction to install a traffic light at the intersection in front of a big supermarket in the city. The spot was a high-risk accident because no traffic lights were installed. The tragic traffic accident caused by the actor on October 22nd was under the spotlight again.
According to police, Jung's car, which was turning left at this point on October 22nd, collided with a motorcycle from the opposite direction, killing motorcycle driver A (17). Police judge that Jung did not see the motorcycle.
Traffic accidents have increased since the opening of the supermarket, but it has been pointed out there was no traffic light for an intersection having high risk of accidents. However, it was reported that the installation was delayed because the supermarket sides and the police had a disagreement over the cost.
In the end, after the incident broke out, they started working on the traffic lights. Although they began to solve the problem, criticism towards their delay seems inevitable.
A military official told Star News, "We are currently working on the construction of a crosswalk at the bottom of the intersection." Police officials also said, "We are working on the installation of traffic lights." "It will be finished next week," added he.
The police are currently investigating Jung Won Joong for the charge of violating the traffic accident special case law. In the middle of the accident, the court will secure CCTV images and black box to determine the exact situation.
KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love is Beautiful, Life is Wonderful', which Jung Won-joong is appearing, stated that "no decision" was made in regards to the possibility of his departure from acting.
