25-Ton Truck Overturns on Jungbu Naeryuk Expressway in Goesan, Spilling Rebar and Causing Traffic Delays

At approximately 7:40 a.m. today (June 17), a 25-ton truck driven by a person identified as A crashed through a guardrail on the shoulder and overturned on the Seoul-bound lanes of the Jungbu Naeryuk Expressway near Goesan Interchange in Jangyeon-myeon, Goesan-gun, North Chungcheong Province.

As a result of the accident, the rebar carried by the truck spilled onto the shoulder. The Korea Expressway Corporation has been controlling one lane for five hours to clear the debris and manage the scene.

There were no casualties.

A police official stated, "It appears the driver fell asleep at the wheel, causing the accident," adding, "Since no other vehicles were involved, the case was closed as an insurance matter."
