Jang Won-sam, a former professional baseball player who caused a collision by drunk driving in Busan in broad daylight, posted an apology.
Jang Won-sam posted a lengthy post on his social media (SNS) on the afternoon of the 18th, saying, “I sincerely bow down and apologize.” “It is right to have a drunk driving contact accident as reported. There is no excuse,” he said. “I am very sorry for causing damage and concern to the people who had an accident yesterday, their family, acquaintances, fans, and the broadcasting officials, directors, players, and fans who are currently appearing.”
Jang Won-sam reportedly hit a vehicle behind him while reversing on a road in Gwangan-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan, around 1 p.m. on the 17th. The blood alcohol level was measured, and the level of driver’s license cancellation was found.
Jang Won-sam said the accident was caused by a hangover. According to him, Jang Won-sam said he gathered with his acquaintances in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, on the 16th, the day before the accident, and had a drink from the 1st to the 3rd and returned home by taxi early on the 17th. He explained that he had a meeting in Busan on the 17th, so he drove out around noon, and there was a contact accident.
“I didn’t drink and drive on the day of the accident, but if I had a hangover, I should have called a taxi or used public transportation, but I drank the day before, not the day, and I slept enough, so I took the wheel and caused the accident,” he said.
Jang has been loved by many fans for showing off his extraordinary talking skills in baseball’s “Strongest Baseball League.” However, he has been removed from the show due to the incident. “It is right to bow down once again to all the members and fans of the strongest baseball league, and take responsibility by voluntarily dropping out,” Jang said.
Meanwhile, Jang Won-sam, who joined the Hyundai Unicorns in 2002, retired in 2020 after playing as a pitcher for the Samsung Lions, the LG Twins, and the Lotte Giants since 2006. He appeared in 367 games for the first team during 15 seasons, recording 121 wins, 98 losses, one save, and an ERA of 4.28. In 2012, he became the reigning champion with 17 wins. 토토사이트
