A traffic accident occurred on the Gyeongbu Expressway in the direction of Seoul, specifically in the Gyeongju section, approximately 1.9 kilometers past the Gyeongju Interchange.
According to Yonhap News, at around 4:45 a.m., a passenger car collided with a 24-ton tanker truck, resulting in both vehicles overturning.
This incident has led to a partial closure of the section between Gyeongju Interchange and Seogyeongju Interchange.
The police stated, "Vehicles are being directed to use the shoulder, and there is currently not much traffic, so significant congestion is not occurring."
Firefighters are working to remove approximately 1,000 liters of gasoline that leaked from the tanker due to the accident.
The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident, including interviewing the drivers involved.
