An accident occurred on the West Coast Expressway in Songak-eup, Dangjin, Chungnam.
According to Yonhap News, at approximately 2:32 p.m. on October 20, a 1-ton truck overturned while traveling near the Dangjin Interchange on the northbound side of the expressway.
The driver, a man in his 60s, sustained injuries, but there were no additional casualties as a result of secondary accidents.
However, around 200 boxes of sweet potatoes that were being transported spilled onto the road, leading to lane closures and ongoing traffic congestion.
