[전국]Honam and Chungcheong in the center of the west coast and heavy snow…

[앵커]

This is a road in Seoul last night.

Suddenly thick snow, cars tangled up, turned into a huge parking lot.

A situation where you can’t literally come or go.

Citizens rushing home from work had to be locked up in cars for a while.

On the road that turned into an icy road, accidents followed.

It doesn’t stop even when you step on the brakes, but instead hits another car.

The aftermath of the frozen road led to inconvenience on the way to work.

Heavy snow hitting western regions such as the metropolitan area yesterday at work.

Over 10 cm of snow fell depending on the area.

The damage occurred one after another as the cold wave of around -20 degrees Celsius overlapped.

As of 10:30 a.m. today, there have been 270 freezes and 7 ruptures of water pipes.

There are 18 road routes that were once controlled or under control.

As there are traffic accidents and other damage to facilities, the magnitude of the damage may increase as the count proceeds.

In particular, the west coast of Chungcheongnam-do, Honam, and Jeju are expected to have a lot of snow today, so special attention is needed.

Then we will connect the site and see this visual situation.

As previously mentioned, a lot of snow is falling in Honam and Chungcheong areas, centering on the west coast.

The heavy snow has even caused a cold wave, so you need to pay attention to safety.

There is a reporter on the site. Reporter Minsung Kim!

There is a lot of snow behind reporter Kim.

Can you tell me about the snow?

[기자]

Yes, the snow is falling steadily without any signs of fading.

Now it’s piled up over the ankle, so it tastes like you step on it, and it sounds great.

It’s good to see and feel.

Imanje is not the only one who is uncomfortable.

Although some snow removal has been done, cars are literally crawling because of the snow left on the road.

The road to work in the morning was like an evacuation route.

If the snow falls at this momentum by the afternoon, the traffic conditions on the way home will not be very good.

As of 1 o’clock in the afternoon, 13cm piled up in Buan, Jeollabuk-do, where I am.

In addition, over 10cm of snow fell in places such as Gimje 17.2cm, Gochang 15.3cm, and Sunchang 14.3cm.

It has been snowing a lot for the second day in Gwangju and Jeonnam.

Jangseong, Jeonnam came the most at 15.6cm, and Damyang 10.9cm and Gwangju 10.3cm.

In Chungnam, a lot of snow piled up, including 15.4cm before Sejong, 14.9cm in Cheongyang, and 13.7cm in Nonsan.

The Meteorological Agency forecast that snow will fall around the west coast for three to four days.

Jeonbuk, Gwangju, and Jeonnam are expected to accumulate 5 to 20 cm, depending on the location, and up to 30 cm in the west.

In the Chungcheong area, it will snow up to 20cm around the west coast of Chungnam.

Traffic accidents are also occurring one after another due to the sudden heavy snowfall.

At around 10:40 am today, a truck carrying a tank lorry slid in the snow at a point 99km in the direction of Mokpo on the Seohaean Expressway, Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and hit the central separator.

No one was seriously injured in this accident, but at one time, two cars were completely blocked, causing inconvenience.

Earlier today (7th) around 7 o’clock in the morning, a 3.5 ton truck fell in the snow near Yuguna Deulmok in the direction of Dangjin-Daejeon Expressway in Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do.

No one was seriously injured, but it was difficult to get through the vehicle for about an hour and 40 minutes due to the accident.

It would be good to listen to the news for the next few days. Please pay special attention to traffic safety.
