Wildfire smoke towered over the highway in South Korea.

Footage shows a thick haze seen from the Gyeongbu Expressway on April 28 as several motorists continue driving.

The massive blaze erupted on Monday, prompting officials to relocate more than 1,200 people as strong winds fueled the flames.

Authorities said the wildfire in Daegu began around 2 pm and had scorched an estimated 50 hectares in under two hours.

Approximately 26 helicopters and 202 firefighting personnel were dispatched to the scene, and a portion of the Gyeongbu Expressway was temporarily shut down.

No casualties have been reported. An investigation is underway.
