Four Workers Dead After Highway Bridge Collapse in South Korea

The collapse at a construction site south of Seoul also left six others injured, with investigations underway to determine the cause.

The accident occurred at 9:49 AM local time in Anseong, about 65 kilometers south of Seoul, when a highway bridge under construction collapsed.
Four workers, including two Chinese nationals, were killed, while six others sustained injuries, five of whom are in critical condition.
The collapse involved five 50-meter-long steel structures that fell after being hoisted into place by cranes, trapping workers under the rubble.
Hyundai Engineering, the lead contractor, issued an apology and pledged full cooperation with authorities to investigate the cause of the collapse.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok directed the mobilization of all available rescue resources, with 150 emergency responders and three helicopters deployed to the site.
