Natsumi Abe causes traffic accident

Former Morning Musume member Natsumi Abe caused a traffic accident while driving her car on Sunday evening. While attempting to make a right turn out of a parking lot onto Meiji-doori in Shibuya, she collided with an oncoming motorcycle. The 33-year-old male driver was taken by ambulance to a hospital, but was found to have suffered only minor injuries. Abe was not hurt, though the front-right bumper of her car was damaged.

Abe said she did not notice the motorcycle when she decided to make the turn. After investigating, police determined that she did not take sufficient safety precautions while driving. They plan to soon prosecute her for negligent injury while operating a motor vehicle.

Abe has only had her driver’s license since July of this year.
