At least three construction workers were killed and seven injured when a piece of elevated highway collapsed on Tuesday in South Korea.
The bridge in Cheonan, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) south of the capital Seoul, was still being built when the 50-meter long beams holding it up crashed to the ground.
The National Fire Agency said they were believed at least one more victim may be under the rubble.
Authorities said that the cause of the incident could not immediately be determined.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok told relevant agencies to mobilize all available personnel and equipment to the site of the collapse.
According to South Korea’s Labor Ministry, between the years of 2020 and 2023, at least 8,000 people died in work-related deaths.
