Were they in a van being driven by a manager to a gig?

Korean drivers are apparently crazy, a reason that most cars seem to have dash cams. (you can see Youtube video of bad Korean drivers)

Go Eun-bi and RiSe were very, very talented young girls.

Wow Sojung is still in the hospital and another member has a broken jaw? The one with the broken jaw attended EunB’s funeral services?

This is all so sad

The manager was driving them back from a live performance back to their dorm. It was 1:30 am and raining hard. The car in front of them skidded, their driver tried to avoid hitting it but the left rear wheel came off (poor maintenance) and the back end of the van smashed into a guardrail and broke open. EunB, RiSe, and Sojung apparently weren't wearing seatbelts. They were thrown from the van and landed headfirst on the pavement. EunB had an open skull fracture and died at the scene. RiSe's skull was caved in and her "brain was dented" - she had nine hours of brain surgery but they had to stop because her blood pressure got too low. She was likely brain-dead at that point, anyway. Sojung suffered fractures to her upper jaw and arm and apparently a lot of facial trauma. She will live, but some are saying she may be too damaged/disfigured to perform again. With the quality of Korean plastic surgery, I doubt that last part.

Ashley and Zuny had relatively minor injuries - broken hand, sprained neck, cuts and bruises. They were at EunB's services - video is on YouTube.

Ugly scene - could happen to any number of girl groups. As I said (being an SNSD/KARA/T-ARA/AOA guy) I wasn't familiar with Ladies Code before, but I've watched some of their videos since and I like them.
