(Seoul = Yonhap News) It was found that the serial collision accident of about 40 vehicles that occurred on the Guripocheon Expressway on the night of the 15th occurred when the cars that slipped on the icy road rapidly reduced their speed.
According to the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency Highway Patrol on the 16th, at 9:10 pm the previous day, a sports utility vehicle (SUV), which was the most advanced among the vehicles in the accident, slipped from the 1st lane to the 3rd lane at a point near the Chukseokryeong tunnel in the direction of Pocheon on the Guripocheon Expressway and accelerated. I cut it down hastily.
Cars following were unable to slow down, resulting in a chain reaction and entanglement.
Police are looking at black ice as a likely cause.
Black ice is a phenomenon in which melted snow or rain on a road freezes to become a thin sheet of ice due to a sudden drop in temperature.
Let’s see it in the video.
