Hong Kong Canto-pop star Nicholas Tse was fined and banned from driving for six months Monday after pleading guilty to a charge of careless driving that caused a spectacular crash last year.
Tse pleaded guilty in the court. He lost his license for six months and was fined HK$4,000 (US$513).
The 21-year-old singer was charged after his car struck the back of a another vehicle on a highway in outlying Lantau island last June, leaving the singer's blue Audi estate in a twisted mess. Tse and two other people were hurt in the crash.
It was the latest in a series of high-profile incidents involving the colorful Tse.
Tse and policeman Lau Chi-wai, 28, were found guilty last year of allowing Tse's former chauffeur to falsely present himself as the driver of Tse's black Ferrari F360 Modena when it crashed in Hong Kong in March.
Lau was given a six-month jail term while Tse was sentenced to 240 hours community service, which some observers believed to be too lenient.
In November, Tse was fined HK$7,000 (US$897) and had his driving license suspended for a year after he pleaded guilty to two separate charges of speeding.
Tse, one of Asia's hottest stars, was ranked this year as Hong Kong's top male idol.
