As the snow that had been falling since dawn froze in the cold weather, traffic accidents continued across the country.

In Daejeon, one person died when a truck skidded in the snow.



Next, this is reporter Kim Sang-min.

An underground road in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon.

A lorry crossed the lane and crashed into the median.



The car that was following failed to dodge and collided with the truck.



The truck driver, in his 40s, was taken to the hospital, but later died.



Police believe the accident occurred when a truck skidded on an icy road.



At the same time, multiple collisions occurred on snowy roads in Mannyeon-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon.



In North Gyeongsang Province, a 25-ton tank lorry carrying argon gas fell on an icy road on a highway, injuring a driver in his 40s.



As a result of this accident, three lanes in the direction of Seoul were controlled, resulting in extreme congestion for about 3 hours.



At the entrance of the cold spring tunnel, a car was overturned, and then four cars following it were hit in turn.



In Gangwon-do, large and small icy road accidents followed one after another, both in the city and on the highway.



In Ulsan, the roads were icy as it rained instead of snowing.



A running truck stumbles into the sidewalk and skids shortly after another vehicle loses control and crosses the center line.



On the other side of the road, a car lost its direction on an icy road, and even a bus trying to avoid it crashed into a guardrail.



[Jeong Jin-hoe/Bus driver: The car in front was hesitant, so I turned the steering wheel to avoid getting it.

The floor is slippery, so it's not good to apply the brakes, so I turned (the steering wheel).]



As there are many frozen roads in sub-zero weather, special attention is needed to drive safely.
