LEBIH dari 1000 pengemudi terjebak macet selama 40 jam setelah sebuah jalan raya dilanda hujan salju di Jepang.
Kemacetan di Jalan Tol Kanetsu antara Tokyo dan Niigata di Jepang dimulai pertama kali pada hari Rabu, tetapi pengemudi terus menunggu di jalan hari ini setelah turunnya hujan salju di negara itu.
Pintu masuk tol ditutup kemarin pagi tetapi pengemudi yang sudah berada di jalan raya terpaksa tidur di dalam mobil dan truknya.
Menurut NEXCO, kemacetan membentang hingga sekitar 15 kilometer saat puncaknya kemarin malam seperti dilansir MailOnline.
More than 1,000 drivers have been stuck in a 40-hour traffic jam after a highway was hit by record snowfall in Japan.
Queues on the Kanetsu Expressway between Tokyo and Niigata in Japan (pictured) first began on Wednesday but drivers continue to wait on the road today after record snowfall in the country.
The road's entrance was closed yesterday morning but drivers already on the highway were forced to sleep in their cars and lorries (inset).
The queues stretched to about 9.3 miles (15km) at the traffic jam's peak last night, according to NEXCO. Some drivers were able to move slowly with starts and stops but others remained stuck in place for more than 40 hours.
