Apparently, her driver started driving even before she was fully inside the car and seated. We can suspect that the driver is in a whole lot of trouble. Physically, he may not be faring any better than Kim's wife by now.

The lethal SUV strikes again, no doubt. I've banged my head getting into a few cars, but so far it hasn't affected anything except my spelling and typing on FR.

Well, "late last month" was less than a week ago .... the article doesn't give a date for the accident. I have noticed that the media frequently refer to events as happening "last month" even when that was just a few days ago.

I dunno - I wonder if in fact the driver wasn't doing what Kim wanted. Maybe he's just got a new shipment of kidnapped Japanese teenagers. :(
To: TigerLikesRooster
Driver's dead. Guaranteed.
Stalinists do not believe in mistakes.

Thanks I saw this too. Well, seeing as Kim has put away under the earth several concubines and/or previous wives, there may be a situation that she fell out of favor (promoting one son over another that Kim wanted instilled), that kind of thing. And that (how convenient!) there was an "accident".

Just damn.
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

That driver will be executed if he hasn't been already Maybe just for not finishing the job. Not to worry, the doctors'll fix it up.

Maybe the car fell apart and she hit her head...
I think the NK brings their cars in from Russian and/or the PRC. Neither are known for making classics.
