Seoul's Yeonhee-dong neighborhood was rocked by a huge sinkhole at around 11:26 a.m. on the 29th. At the time of the incident, the ground suddenly gave way in the middle of the road heading toward Seongsan Bridge, and a passenger car fell into it. The sinkhole was 6 meters wide, 4 meters long, and 2.5 meters deep, and the driver of the car, a man in his 80s, and his passenger, a woman in her 70s, were seriously injured and taken to a nearby hospital.

Incident progression

The accident happened without warning. Ten minutes before the accident, the cars traveling on the road suddenly started rattling, and it seems that there were already signs of a sinkhole. However, it was impossible to predict that such an unfortunate accident would occur on the road in broad daylight. Citizens who witnessed the accident nearby were surprised to see the road turn off with a loud bang.

Investigate the cause

Since the incident occurred, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has been investigating whether there were any abnormalities in the underground facilities and whether the recent heavy rains in the area were responsible. The sinkhole is known to have occurred during an unchecked ground-penetrating radar survey in May, and no cavities were found in the ground at that time, so further investigation is needed to determine the cause of the incident.

Civil unrest

The incident was not just a car accident, but a natural disaster in the middle of Seoul's city center, and it has caused great anxiety among citizens. Questions have been raised about the safety of the roads, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government has vowed to take measures to prevent a recurrence. There is also a need for citizens to be more cautious and careful to prevent such accidents.

How do I stay safe?

Finally, there are a few things you can do to prevent this from happening in the first place.

  1. Regular ground condition checks: Regular inspections of roads and underground structures are essential, especially before and after periods of heavy rainfall.

  2. Leverage advanced technologies: It is necessary to build a system that utilizes the latest technology, such as ground penetrating radar, to quickly identify anomalies in the ground.

  3. Civic education: Raise awareness of road anomalies and educate citizens on what to do if they occur.

  4. Rapid response organization: It's also important to have an organized response plan in place to quickly rescue people in the event of an incident.

It is time for continued attention and preventive efforts at the accident site. The sinkhole incident in Yeonhee-dong requires the efforts of both citizens and authorities to ensure that it is not just an accident.
