Last week on the 12th, we reported that BIGBANG’s Seungri had been involved in an immense 2-car collision, the cause unknown. Today, a car accident expert has predicated that the accident was due to Seungri’s falling sleep behind the wheel.
After many speculations by netizens and people alike that Seungri’s car accident had probably been a result of drinking under the influence of alcohol, despite police officials and YG Entertainment confirming that the singer was not drunk, a car accident specialist and expert has come out to presume that the star was in fact not drunk, but rather sleepy.
On the episode of SBS “One Night TV Entertainment”, which aired on the 17th, an expert in car accident analysis had reviewed the singer’s car crash and speculated that Seungri was most likely not drunk, but rather falling asleep while driving behind the wheel alone.
Ryu Jongik, the expert, stated, “We can most definitely view this accident as a result of speeding which was caused by sleep. Seungri’s car was going down straight, and as the road was curving, his car had also started to race down horizontally. It seems as though he had noticed the car beside him in the next lane and tried to step on the brakes right before the collision had happened. Overall, the accident can be seen as (Seungri) falling asleep as he was driving and he ended up horizontally cutting off (the other car) from a tangent, then a curved section in an extended time of operation.”
Currently, Seungri is still being hospitalized for a minor liver hemorrhage and is being treated thoroughly for about one week, according to his agency YG Entertainment.
