On Oct. 20, Yongin Seobu Police Station released the results of the detailed analysis submitted by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation (NISI) and confirmed that Ladies’ Code‘s fatal accident was most likely due to the driver speeding and not a vehicle malfunction, as first suspected.
According to Star News, the police analyzed the CCTV footage of the accident and determined that the driver was traveling 130 kilometers per hour (about 81 miles per hour) instead of the speed limit of 100 kph (about 62 mph).
The driver had initially told the police that he felt the wheel pop off before the van hit the guard rail, but the NISI’s results proved otherwise, stating that the wheel came off as a result of impact. It is most likely that the driver lost control of the vehicle due to speeding on a rain-drenched expressway at night .
The police plan to review the case further to see if additional questioning is necessary before submitting the case to the prosecutor’s office.
Ladies’ Code’s fatal accident occurred on Sept. 3, which claimed the lives of members EunB and Rise, leaving the staff and remaining three members injured. Currently, members Sojung, Ashely, and Zuny are continuing to receive treatment for their injuries.
