Ko Kyung-pyo Hits Garbage Truck, License at Risk
His agency said the actor's alcohol level topped the limit that could lead to a license revocation and criminal charges.
South Korean actor Ko Kyung-pyo is dealing with police after hitting a garbage truck while driving under the influence in Donggyo-dong, Mapo District, Seoul, on Saturday (14/11) at about 03:30 local time. A breathalyzer test showed his blood alcohol level above the legal limit, at a level of violation that could lead to the revocation of his driver's license. His agency, CL&COMPANY, apologized and said Ko had returned home after being questioned by police. The company also said Ko admitted his mistake, was prepared to accept punishment, and would cover restitution or compensation for any damage caused. CCTV footage aired by MBC “News Desk” further heightened public attention on the incident.
