In November 2023, Finnish actors Carl-Kristian Rundman and Niina Nurminen were involved in a serious car accident, and the case is currently being heard in the Helsinki District Court. Both actors are named as victims in this incident, where a retired driver faces charges of gross endangerment of traffic safety and aggravated bodily harm. According to reports, the driver allegedly exceeded the speed limit significantly, traveling at 90 km/h in a area marked for 30 km/h, resulting in the collision with Rundman and Nurminen's vehicle.

The accused has denied the charges of gross endangerment and aggravated bodily harm, but does not contest driving over the speed limit or the collision. The defense claims that the driver's health was compromised due to an epileptic seizure at the time of the accident, raising questions about his ability to drive. However, representatives for the defendant argue that the accused was not aware of any condition that would impair their capacity to operate a vehicle legally.

The legal proceedings have drawn public attention, especially given the profiles of the victims, and included the presentation of photographs from the accident scene during the courtroom hearings. The case highlights the ongoing issues regarding road safety and the responsibilities of drivers, particularly those who may be dealing with health issues that could impact their ability to drive responsibly.
