Three workers were killed and five others were injured when part of a highway construction site collapsed in South Korea on Tuesday morning, officials said.
Emergency crews were searching through the rubble for victims, South Korea’s Fire Department said. The collapse happened at about 9:50 a.m. near the city of Cheonan, in South Chungcheong Province, which is about 50 miles south of Seoul, the capital.
A video published by Yonhap, a South Korean news agency, showed part of a structure supported by columns breaking into pieces and plunging to the ground.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
