An accident caused by an illegal U-turn has drawn attention.

The 121st episode of JTBC‘s ‘Han Moon-chul’s Black Box Review’ (abbreviated as Hanbly), which aired on the 1st, broke its own record with a 1.7% viewership rating for the 2049 target area in the metropolitan area, and recorded 3.2% nationwide and 3.1% in the metropolitan area for paid households.

On that day, ‘Hanbly’ highlighted the unfortunate story of a motorcycle driver who collided with a vehicle making an illegal U-turn. The black box footage that was released showed a shocking scene where a vehicle making an illegal U-turn crashed into a motorcycle that was driving normally. The scene where the perpetrator pushed the victim while pressing the accelerator pedal right after the accident and climbed on top of him was captured in full, shocking the panelists.


The victim recalled the terrifying moment, saying, “I was crushed by the car for 5 minutes after the collision,” and “The car at fault was moving back and forth over my body.” He lost consciousness right after the accident and woke up in the intensive care unit after 4 days, and said that his life was in critical condition with 17 fractured ribs and a comminuted femur fracture. However, the perpetrator has not apologized, and the perpetrator’s insurance company is holding the victim accountable, which made Han Bo-reum explode with anger, saying, “I’m so angry.” Also, when the possibility was raised that the perpetrator would not be criminally punished since the violation of the real line was excluded from the 12 gross negligences, attorney Han Moon-chul strongly argued, “It is right that he should be criminally punished because serious injury was recognized.”

The story of the innocent driver was also revealed. The released CCTV footage showed a situation where a man suddenly jumped in and crashed into a school bus passing through a narrow alley. Immediately after the accident, the man said, “Don’t call the police, just file an insurance claim,” and even claimed that he had damaged his cell phone, but the investigation revealed that he had reported an accident of the same type a week before, which shocked everyone. However, when it was revealed that the prosecution closed the case due to insufficient evidence and paid out 2.5 million won in compensation, Lee Soo-geun sympathized with the feelings of the innocent informant, saying, “The viewers will be angry too.”
