Truck Crashes into Stationary Crane Near Buk-Yeoju IC on Jungbu Naeryuk Expressway

At around 6:10 p.m. today (Nov. 2), a 25-ton truck collided with a crane that had stopped on the shoulder due to a breakdown near the Buk-Yeoju IC on the Changwon-bound Jungbu Naeryuk Expressway in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province.

The crash caused a fire to break out in the truck, leaving the driver in his 40s with injuries to his hand.

The fire was extinguished by firefighters in about 30 minutes, but the clean-up operation temporarily shut down all four lanes in both directions, causing traffic congestion stretching for 4 kilometers.

Police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
