<Anchor> The
main road in the city center was once paralyzed due to sudden snowfall last night (6th).
The snow removal was not done in time, so the cars got tangled together, and traffic accidents with snowy roads occurred one after another.
Reporter Son Hyung-an reports.

A road in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, is covered with snow, so the lanes cannot be separated.
There is a long congestion, and cars with emergency lights are stopped everywhere.
Some roads that have turned into icy roads are even worse.
At all, citizens enter the middle of the road and push up idle cars from behind.
There are also complaints that the snow removal work was not carried out in time, resulting in increased inconvenience such as traffic disruption.
[Han Sang-hee/Seoul Gangnam-gu: Everyone started pushing (car) one by one, but we did that for about two and a half hours.
I was so angry I called.
Even at the Gangnam-gu office, they said that the connection was not possible due to the heavy call volume.]
[Kwon season/Gyeonggi Paju City: (On the way home) The bus is coming much later than expected, and I think I'm very worried about the traffic jam.
The weather is getting colder.] In
fact,
there were a lot
of complaints from the police and local governments asking for snow removal.
There were also eye-catching traffic accidents.
The vehicle slips and bumps into another vehicle,
[Uh, let's put the brakes on!]
They lose their direction and
hit the
guardrail.
Fortunately, it has been estimated that there has been no significant human damage caused by this heavy snow.
Authorities explained that heavy snow and severe cold caused damage to large and small objects such as freezing of the meter, and six aircraft were canceled.
