Comedian Lee Hyuk-jae Booked by Police for Drunk Driving After Rear-Ending Motorcycle

Comedian Lee Hyuk-jae has been booked by the police after causing a traffic accident while driving under the influence.

The Incheon Yeonsu Police Station announced that it is investigating Lee without detention on charges of driving under the influence in violation of the Road Traffic Act.

Lee is accused of driving a vehicle while intoxicated at around 10:00 p.m. yesterday (September 8) on a road in Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, and crashing into a motorcycle that was waiting at a traffic light.

The motorcycle driver reported the accident to the police.

A breathalyzer test administered by the police showed that Lee's blood alcohol concentration was between 0.03% and less than 0.08%, a level that warrants the suspension of his driver's license.

A police official stated, "If the victim's injuries are confirmed, charges of causing bodily injury through occupational negligence under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents may also be applied."
