3 people died and 3 were injured in a collapse during the demolition of an overpass in South Korea. Demolition work on the overpass, built in 1966, had been ongoing since last August.
In Seoul, the capital of South Korea, three people lost their lives and three others were injured when a partially demolished overpass collapsed around 2:30 PM local time.
TRAIN SERVICES SUSPENDED
The accident reportedly occurred during a safety inspection after workers noticed a slight collapse of a section of the structure while cutting concrete slabs and halted demolition work. Authorities stated that some train services in the city were suspended after parts of the overpass fell onto a nearby railway line.
