Huh Kyung-young

Huh Kyung-young, a former presidential candidate famous for his eccentric behavior, allegedly caused a three-car collision with his Rolls-Royce, police said, Thursday.

According to police, he collided with a Volvo SUV, which then rear-ended a Mercedes-Benz on the Gangbyeon Expressway between Wonhyo Bridge and Han River Bridge on April 19.

The former presidential candidate was driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom Limousine which costs 700 million won ($609,000). He reportedly leases the car, paying 8 million won a month.

The SUV driver said Huh's Rolls-Royce suddenly slammed into the back of his car, while Huh said the SUV stopped abruptly, according to police.

The two drivers failed to reach an agreement for compensation, as Huh's car insurance can only cover 20 million won out of the total repair fee of 27 million won. The Volvo driver filed a complaint with police, and police requested Huh to present himself for questioning.

Huh is a former presidential candidate, claims to have an IQ of 430. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail in 2007 for defamation after he claimed he would marry then ruling party member Park Geun-hye. He also said he earned hundreds of billions of won from his song, "Call Me."
