Then, let's connect with the reporter who is out of the field this time to see if there is any new news.
Reporter Sagong Seong-geun, the fire seems to be off now, but has the search and rescue operation been completed?
<Reporter>
Yes, as you can see, all the lights are off.
The smoke that used to rise intermittently doesn't come out now.
But the acrid smell doesn't go away.
Search and rescue operations by fire authorities were completed around 6 p.m.
Inside the tunnel, you can also see some burnt vehicles.
There are no reports of any additional deaths or injuries as of yet.
It is known that the police and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport conducted the first on-site investigation by 7:00 pm to determine the cause of the accident.
Now, all but the minimum manpower to protect the site are withdrawn.

Looking at it now, it seems that there are no cars going that way yet.
<Reporter>
Immediately after the accident, the 2nd Gyeongin Expressway from Sammak IC to Bukuiwang IC for about 8km is impossible to pass in both directions.
More than 2 km of National Road 47, which passes under the overpass where the accident occurred, was also controlled.
Adjacent roads are guiding vehicles to detour, resulting in extreme congestion from the time our reporters arrived at the scene.
If you look at the CCTV video of Route 47 a while ago, the passage below the accident point is completely blocked.
The road on the way home from work was reminiscent of a parking lot, with the aftermath reaching a little out of the way.
The police and firefighters plan to conduct a joint identification from 10:30 am tomorrow (30th) at the earliest to begin identifying the exact cause of the fire.
