Did the roof collapse? What's the situation?

[Reporter]
The market roof tent collapsed because it couldn't overcome the weight of the snow that poured out all night.

Until a moment ago, you could see people entering the market, climbing ladders and using tools to scrape snow from the tents and drop them.

You'll see that trail as a huge pile of snow on the market floor,
You could also see merchants coming forward and sweeping all the snow that was piled up right in front of the
store.

Yellow control lines are in place at the entrance of the market here, so the public is not allowed to enter.

Let's hear the story of a merchant who has been working on snow removal since the morning when he heard that the market roof has collapsed.

[Joo Sang-seok / Bugok-dong, Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do: The tent in front of the store has collapsed, so we can't even do business. It's not going to be easy overnight.]

The police were dispatched after receiving the first report and examined the market situation at around 1:40 a.m. today.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Merchants seem to be concerned that the roof tents will collapse further due to the snow.

At present, Uiwang City and merchants have begun restoration work, but it will be difficult to speed up the work as it continues to snow.

Heavy snow in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul and southern Gyeonggi Province, caused a series of accidents.

There were also a series of traffic accidents as trees and steel structures collapsed and vehicles slipped because they could not overcome the weight of the pouring snow.

In Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, a safety net installed at a golf practice range on the sixth floor of the building collapsed overnight after failing to overcome the snow weight.

Also, the safety net of the golf practice range was cut off in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.

was struck by two workers who were working on snow removal at the time, one of whom died.

Trees and street trees in the apartment complex, such as Eunma Apartment in Daechi-dong, hit the vehicle and blocked the road,
In Songjeong-dong, Icheon-si,
Gyeonggi-do, some of the traffic lights were damaged and were worried that they would be cut off at any moment by hanging from the wire.

Snow accidents must be a problem, but there was also news of a car slide accident, right?

[Reporter]
Local governments such as Seoul and Gyeonggi-do have been working on snow removal overnight, so major roads are better off.

However, accidents continue around ramps such as back roads and especially hill roads.

In Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, a large trailer left the Songsan grape rest area, slipped while entering the highway, and cars that stopped at the rest area were trapped for hours.

In Jeongneung-dong, Seoul, a 5-ton snowplow vehicle that was driving on the side road slipped downhill and hit a utility pole.

The heavy snow is in a lull, and the snow has stopped a lot, but there are many places that have not yet been snow-removed, so you should pay special attention to safety.

So far, I'm YTN Yoon Tae-in in front of Goblin Market in Uiwang City, Gyeonggi Province.
