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.

Due to the impact at the time of the accident, a power outage occurred in the building.

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.

The facilities seem to have collapsed due to not being able to beat the heavy moisture snow.

Amid a series of casualties caused by such "wet snow," trees that could not overcome the weight of the snow have collapsed, obstructing road traffic and threatening pedestrian safety.

There have also been reports that trees and street trees in the apartment complex, including Eunma Apartment in Daechi-dong, have collapsed, hitting vehicles and blocking roads.

Snow accidents would be a problem, but car sliding accidents followed?

[Reporter]
Yes, 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.

There were a series of reports that the snow removal was not properly carried out due to the heavy snow falling at once overnight.

There was also a situation where it was impossible to drive a vehicle beyond the slow level regardless of whether it was on a highway or a city road, and there was a report that it took two hours to get to the 1km car.

There is a lot of snow forecast until this morning, so you should pay special attention to safety.
