[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] A 10-vehicle pileup occurred in an underground passage in downtown Gwangju, resulting in one person sustaining minor injuries.

According to the Gwangju Bukbu Police Station on the 17th, at around 2:25 p.m., a chain collision involving 10 vehicles took place at the Sinyong Underpass in Sinyong-dong, Buk-gu, Gwangju.

One person who was inside a vehicle sustained minor injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The police believe the accident started due to the negligence of the driver who initially collided with the outer wall of the underpass.

They are also investigating whether the slippery road conditions caused by snow that began falling the previous day contributed to the accident.

Gwangju issued a heavy snow warning starting at midnight that day, and the current accumulated snowfall is 6.7 cm.
