[사회]10 hours or more of vehicle isolation due to heavy snowfall in Gangwon-do

[앵커]

On the last day of the March 1 holiday, a lot of snow falls in the Yeongdong area of ​​Gangwon-do, and hundreds of vehicles are isolated on the roads, causing heavy snow damage.

The Meteorological Administration predicts that 10 to 40 cm of snow will fall by this afternoon, centering on Yeongdong, so there is concern about additional damage caused by’wet snow’ caused by snow accumulation.

Reporter Seung-Hoon Lee tells about the unfortunate citizens isolated in heavy snow.

It is a highway connecting Seoul and Yangyang.

The accumulated snow made it difficult to see it as a highway, and the function of the highway has already lost its role.

What people who have been isolated for over nine hours can do is work together to clear snow as far as they can.

There are many people who are isolated on the highway while they are on highway buses.

I want a snowplow to appear and clear this congested road, but I am anxious and scared on the frozen road, and this night is only long.

[이선화 / 제보 시민 : 식사는 생각할 수도 없는 거고. 이런 고립이 어디 있어요. 지금 너무 황당해서 말이 안 나와요. 그리고 제 예정으로는 제가 춘천에서 기차를 타고 서울로 가려고 예정을 하고 속초에서 춘천 가는 버스를 탔거든요.]

He couldn’t avoid the heavy snow on three days just because he got on the road in a hurry.

I gave up going to school and tried to go home even though it was just starting school, but even that path is not easy.

[이정화 / 제보 시민 : 지금 인제 방향으로 딸 기숙사 데려다 주다가 속초로 방향을 틀었거든요 다시 들어가려고요. 오늘 못갈거 같아요.]

From yesterday afternoon, Gangwon-do and the Korea Expressway Corporation are fully controlling vehicle access to the Sokcho Nadeulmok section of the Donghae Expressway and the Bukyangyang section.

A snowplow is being mobilized and a police car is helping to detour at the scene, but they are struggling to get tangled together on a crowded road.

All the roads connecting Gangwon-do have become a mess due to the heavy snowfall, but the harsh snow still does not stop.
