[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seung-jin] It was confirmed on the 5th through a police investigation that actor Choi Min-soo (59)'s motorcycle accident was caused by mutual negligence.

The police plan to investigate whether the driver of the passenger car, which collided with Choi's motorcycle and left the accident scene without taking any measures, acted intentionally.

According to the police, Choi and passenger car driver Mr. A were driving in a line on a two-lane road in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, the previous day, and attempted to overtake the slow-moving car in front simultaneously, causing the accident.

During this process, both Choi and Mr. A were found to have violated traffic laws, including crossing the center line.

Choi was injured in his waist and back and was transported to the hospital, but Mr. A reportedly left the scene without providing any aid at the time of the accident.

The police later confirmed the license plate number of the passenger car and questioned Mr. A once on the day of the accident. Whether Mr. A intentionally left the scene will be determined through further investigation.

A Yongsan Police Station official said, "We plan to conduct a more thorough investigation regarding whether the passenger car driver was aware of the accident."
