The snow all night covered the whole city white.

Just in case you slip, cars on the road can't speed up.

Sunchang and Jeongeup in Jeollabuk-do, where a heavy snow warning was issued, received a lot of snow of around 20cm for two days.

Residents are busy cleaning up the snow all night.

There were also a series of snow accidents.

Five cars, including a 1-ton truck and a passenger car, collided one after another on the road in Seongdang-myeon, Iksan-si, Jeollabuk-do.

A truck driver in his 60s was injured and taken to the hospital.

On the Honam Expressway in Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, a 14-ton truck collapsed sideways due to the snow.

The driver was not injured, but one car was blocked in the aftermath of the accident.

Seven people were injured in a five-car collision on the Suncheon Wanju Expressway in Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do.

Seventeen cars collided in a series on the upper line of Route 45 in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, and a woman in her 60s was taken to a hospital.

Police believe the cars slid into the thin ice on the road and hit each other two or three times.

In addition, fire authorities took safety measures in Jeongeup and Buan, Jeollabuk-do, after a series of accidents in which trees fell on the road or roof.
