Taxi Driver was interviewed by Dispatch:
Taxi Driver: “(The paramedic) told me to go and get treated but I didn’t go. I had to (deal with the accident)”
Interviewer: “(Taeyeon tapped on your shoulder…)”
Taxi Driver: “That’s not true. Who’s playing/joking."
They were asking him in regards to the “victim’s” SNS post that accused Taeyeon of tapping on the taxi driver’s shoulder as though they’re subordinates. The taxi driver said nothing of that sort even happened.
The taxi driver victim also said that there was no issue with Taeyeon’s behaviour.
Dispatched Rescue Member - “While I was checking Taeyeon's condition, the other crew members were also checking the conditions of the other patients. Taeyeon did not even get on the ambulance. She did not even get close/near to it."
Gangnam Fire Station:
When the paramedics get to the scene, they classify the patient(s). That means that they put the person that needs urgent help first. The other people said they had back pains and such, while Taeyeon complained of chest pains. We felt that was priority so we tried to transfer her first.
When we were done handling the accident, Taeyeon said she would go to the hospital on her own. She did not get in the ambulance. Then, another ambulance came and the two passengers in the taxi and the Audi driver were taken into separate vehicles to the hospital.
There cannot be special treatment. We did not try to transfer her to hospital first because she was a celebrity. It’s because she complained of chest pains. It was an emergency situation that needed to be handled first. In the position of an emergency worker, there aren’t ordinary people and celebrities. Even if it wasn’t Taeyeon, if a public citizen said they had chest pains, we would have made it so they were transferred first. There’s a limited number of paramedics. Because we have to get the urgent patients in the ambulance first, the situation seems to have gone the way it did. We aren’t sure how this [information] was delivered for there to be a controversy about special celebrity treatment. We don’t have any reason to do that.
“Although we did not transfer Taeyeon to the hospital using the ambulance, even if she is the first to be transported, it is not a “celebrity preference”. Do paramedics who deal with human life give preference to famous celebrities? That would be unfavorable. One more important thing is that there is no concept of an attacker or a victim in the “first aid” on an accident scene. It’s the same human life. It’s not about taking care of the “unfair victim”, but “the person with the most serious injury” is given priority."
"She said her chest hurt from the airbag deploying. She told us to check/take care of the others if they're hurt, saying she's fine."

Translation for video above:
they were talking about the “preferred treatment” based on the instagram uploader caption, and they also called gangnam fire dept to get their statement. https://t.co/E2pCu3Airb

**Above tweet is about a article that refers to the videothe fire dept mentioned because they heard from other drivers that one of the victim complained of chest pain, they went to her first and didnt even know it was taeyeon. and she didnt even go near the ambulance. the discussion concluded that it was all just a misunderstanding.

This article delivers real account of Taeyeon's accident. The women in the taxi were actually the ones taken by the ambulance but they blamed TY to take it and receive preferential treatment. Pls upvote comments & the article so it can be seen by many.https://t.co/RzLti1U4I2 pic.twitter.com/01qwk1wkos— seoulsoul🎄 (@seoulsoul309) December 2, 2017

Date: 2017-12-02 02:57 pm (UTC)and what's up with those lying victims? i understand rage and anger due to taeyeon's careless driving but how's lying about what happend gonna change anything or help them out with the case???
good thing at least people are speaking up, this issue shouldn't be about taeyeon's behavior after the accident or "celebrity treatment" but about the accident, careless driving, and i hope she and also others are reminded how horriblely this could have ended due to not driving with care or paying enought attention
wish her and the victims quick recovery both physically and mentally

Date: 2017-12-02 03:42 pm (UTC)like this is also the same community that thinks taeyeon is the ceo of sm and is the sole reason Jessica was kicked out so you’re not dealing with a bunch of ppl with common sense

Date: 2017-12-02 04:09 pm (UTC)the overall reaction to the accident on here is confusing me like it's one thing to be disappointed in her for being such a careless driver in that moment because it is disappointing, but she owned up to her mistake and hasn't tried to back track on anything. plus are people honestly upset that emergency services treated someone who complained of chest pains after a car accident? celebrity or not she could've had an internal injury on impact, like... you gotta check that shit out.

Date: 2017-12-02 05:04 pm (UTC)that sucks (i've only started following her for 1,5 year now) but even reading your first section, i don't feel like she has done so much horribly wrong (if i were to compare her to others of the online community shitlist both of knetz and int-fan) for the amount of awful comments and insults she gets (personally i also feel like still quite a bit of her portion haters, at least on the k-netizens part not internationally as much, are those baekyeon haters despite them being broke up for a while now, i mostly say that as an former/casual exo-l it's still noticeable how much some fans HATED them)
i feel the same way, i really don't understand the rage of netizens online over the articles?? sure it didn't help that those victims lied about taeyeon getting celebrity treatment but now at least people should back off, i'm actually even surprised that the emergency staff let her go by car to the hospital (but it's also good thing, bc it probably meant it wasn't really too dangerous and hospital visit was only to confirm that and treat any other possible minor injuries)
no subject
Date: 2017-12-02 05:31 pm (UTC)the entire thing is a mess, really. the vibe that i got was that the victims were still upset and said some untrue things that they took back? or clarified on later but everything was out by then and after antis and trolls find something good to sink their teeth into, true or not, they keep on going back to that. at this point everything going forward is going to involve her and the others involved in the accident on a private level so it's pretty much done publicly but netizens want to keep on dragging it out so they will. they'll even go as far as harassing the people involved to try and get dirt apparently lol
no subject
Date: 2017-12-02 06:09 pm (UTC)yeah probably the victims felt very wronged at getting hurt and therefore took some anger out n taeyeon before realising that it wasn't the smartest move, thank god the issue will be handled privately likely from now on (as it kinda of should have from the start)
no subject
Date: 2017-12-02 08:22 pm (UTC)mte. at this point it's just netizens wanting more dirt because none of the victims have said anything since the day after and taeyeon has been pretty silent since that day too.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-03 10:30 am (UTC)it's really getting way too obvious that netizens too, not only i-fandom, only care for dirt on idols (and creating drama) and don't care about the truth or what's behind something/reasonings, i have no idea why they feel so good writing horrible things and judging idols so hard
no subject
Date: 2017-12-03 05:32 pm (UTC)but riiiight. it's so annoying. i saw that the police released a final statement on the case (or it seemed to be pretty final) a few hours ago so i hope that'll be enough to quiet netz.
