A 25-ton truck overturned to the left while driving near the entrance of Banje Tunnel on the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway in the direction of Jecheon, Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, at 8:52 a.m. today (July 20).

There were no casualties, but a large amount of soil loaded on the vehicle spilled onto the road, and cleanup operations are currently underway.

During the cleanup process, two lanes between West Anseong IC and South Anseong IC in the direction of Jecheon have been completely closed, causing traffic congestion in the area.

Immediately after the accident, the Korea Expressway Corporation issued an emergency text message to notify drivers of the closed section and advised them to use detour routes.

A police official stated, "We will lift the traffic restrictions as soon as the soil spilled on the road is cleared," adding, "We are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident."
