Before the accident, she had been filming for her new SBS drama 'It's Okay, That's Love' in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do. She was in the van with her manager and stylist when the accident occurred. After her van and a truck had bumped into each other, they stopped on the highway when yet another truck collided into the van.
The rep said, "Gong Hyo Jin sustained slight injuries on her forehead and face, but thankfully, the injuries are minor considering the details of the accident. Currently, she and the staff members are being examined. The exact situation will be known only after the results of the investigation, but she will probably be able to start filming again after resting for a few days. The drama's first episode is planned for the end of July, so this won't affect the broadcasting schedule."
