Facility Collapse Accident at Cheongju Snow Sledding Park... 2 Seriously Injured

At around 4:29 PM on the 24th, a structure collapsed at a sledding site in Namil-myeon, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju-si, injuring about 10 citizens. This sledding site had opened the day before.

According to the fire department, two people, including a citizen in their 20s who sustained serious injuries, and one person with minor injuries were rescued and transported to the hospital. The remaining visitors escaped on their own immediately after the accident and were reported to have not been seriously injured.

The fire department believes the accident occurred when half of a 30-meter-long passageway, constructed in the form of a vinyl greenhouse, collapsed under the weight of accumulated snow. At the time, about 200 visitors were reportedly at the sledding site. The police are investigating the exact cause of the accident, including safety management issues.
