‘Real Men’ staff, comedian involved in five-car expressway crash
A five-car accident involving two from the popular televison variety show “Real Men” occurred on a South Korean expressway Monday morning, with comedian Kim Young-chul suffering a finger fracture, Yonhap reported.
According to police, a minivan crashed into a 2.5-ton truck around 6 a.m. on the Daegu-Pohang Expressway, causing three other vehicles behind it to crash.
The minivan, driven by a 24-year-old Lee, contained comedian Kim. Another car involved in the crash was a “Real Men” staff vehicle.
They were on their way to film in Pohang.
About 20 people in total were injured and transported to a nearby hospital.
“Kim Young-chul has a fractured finger, and the passengers and driver of the staff vehicle are suffering from minor pains,” a police spokesman said. “We are currently looking into the injuries of passengers inside the other vehicles.”
Police are investigating details of the crash.
