Actress E. Ji Ah involved in car accident with police

Actress E. Ji Ah (Lee Ji-ah) escaped unhurt when her car hit a police car at around 1 a.m. on Saturday morning.

The actress claimed that she had been drinking with friends and called a driver to take her home. On the way home, the driver got into an accident, hitting a police car with the actress’ Maserati sports car. No serious injuries were reported.

“This was a small accident that was a result of the driver’s inexperience,” said a representative of Lee’s agency in news reports. “Nobody was hurt.”

Lee’s driver claimed that he was inexperienced in driving the Italian sports car, which resulted in the accident that occurred in the Nonhyeon-dong area of Seoul.

The actress shocked the nation two years ago with the news of her nine-year secret marriage and subsequent divorce from singer Seo Taiji.
