Heavy snow 'isolated' all over southern Gyeonggi roads... "5 hours trapped"

[Anchor]
Heavy snow caused severe congestion on roads in southern Gyeonggi Province.

In particular, vehicles were once isolated for nearly five hours on national roads in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

Reporter Kim Yi-young's report.

Cars are stopped on the road, and the stuffy driver gets off and looks ahead.

The cars are lined up endlessly, and there are few signs of movement.

The tunnel, which is quite a distance away, is also full of cars, and some citizens have been isolated on the road for nearly five hours.

[Informer: I turned on the Yangji Expressway and it came out at 5:55. [But it's been blocked since then]

The trailer that was going up the sloping road here slipped and got stuck for a long time.

Since the distribution center is crowded around, there is a lot of traffic and there is no proper detour, so the number of cars that are isolated has increased out of control.

Local governments and other authorities carried out snow removal, but they could not immediately take out the trailer, and the congestion that began around 5 a.m. was not resolved until midday.

Earlier, at around 4 a.m., several trucks were stopped for nearly two hours on Route 3 in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do,
On the highway in Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, heavy snow caused paralysis on roads in the southern part of Gyeonggi-do, with trailers sliding uphill.
