Wow, can you imagine a 43-car pileup? 😲🚗🚙🚌
On Tuesday morning in South Korea, a huge accident happened involving 43 vehicles! That’s a lot of cars!
The accident occurred around 5:50 a.m. on a highway near Goyang, which is west of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea.
Nine people were injured and taken to the hospital. Thankfully, there were no reports of serious injuries.
The police and firefighters worked hard to clear the road and help the people involved. The accident caused traffic jams for about 3 kilometers.
The cause of the accident was believed to be “black ice.” Have you heard of black ice? ❄️ It’s a thin, almost invisible layer of ice that forms on roads when melting snow refreezes. It can make the road super slippery, and drivers might not even see it!
Remember, if you’re ever in a car during icy conditions, it’s important to drive slowly and carefully.
