More details regarding Kim Sae-ron's drunk driving accident have been revealed.
On the 18th, the actress was arrested and booked at the Gangnam Police Station for driving drunk and causing an accident in Cheongdam-dong after hitting a guard rail, a tree on the street and crashing into a transformer before trying to flee the scene.
Police tried to measure her blood alcohol through a breathalyzer but she refused and said she wanted her blood drawn instead. However, the initial test taken by police at the scene tested positive.
A police official stated, "We're waiting for the results from the blood draw before confirming the charges against her. The results will come out in about a week. We're also examining whether passenger A, in their 20s, who was in the vehicle at the time of the accident can be charged with aiding drunk driving."
Meanwhile, Kim Sae-ron has yet to issue an apology after her accident resulted in a blackout in 57 places including a nearby store. Power supply was restored in the area about 3 hours after the accident.
