Structural collapses and traffic accidents have led to half a dozen deaths as South Korea reports its third-heaviest snowfall in just over a century.
South Korea has felt the heavy impact of record snowfall as the country reports multiple deaths amid travel cancellations.Seoul recorded its third-heaviest snowfall since officials started keeping records in 1907, with more than 16 inches of snow in parts of the city, forcing the cancellation of over 140 flights and 76 ferry routes.
Another death resulted from a highway traffic accident, although it remains unclear if it was from the same accident or another one near the capital.Authorities warned residents in some provinces, such as Chungcheong and Jeolla, to prepare for more snow on Friday. Some could even expect to see snowfall continue into Saturday morning.The structural collapses happened at a golf range where snow piled up on a net until it snapped, killing one person and injuring two others.
