Today (31st), a lot of snow fell overnight in Jeju and Honam, where fishing boat rescue work is taking place for the third day.
As the roads froze, large and small accidents followed, and reporter Ahn Hee-jae covered the situation of heavy snowfall in the west coast.
<Reporter> On a
frozen uphill road, two buses are pushed back without force.
Citizens around them run to catch them, but only spin around,
[Witness: Uh, what should I do! No!] Even the
passengers hurriedly descended and only supported the bus with the help of strength.
In various places in Jeju Island where heavy snow warnings were issued overnight, vehicles could not speed up due to frozen roads, and large and small collisions continued.
The night search to find seven crew members missing in a ship overturn accident also caused a big setback as the helicopter was unable to take off due to snow and strong winds.
Even in Gwangju, where snow accumulated over 15cm, a dizzying scene was produced.
[Jong-yeon Yoon/Buk-gu, Gwangju: (Truck) was suddenly pushed back. The car is running fast behind me... Citizens helped (prevented the accident.)] About
40 cases were filed overnight in Gwangju alone, such as slipping on an icy road.
The Meteorological Administration said that a lot of snow will continue in Jeolla-do until tomorrow, the first day of the year, and asked to pay special attention to the management of outdoor facilities and traffic safety.
