At least four people lost their lives, and six others were injured on Tuesday after a tragic collapse at a highway construction site south of Seoul, South Korea.

The incident happened at around 9:49 a.m. local time in Anseong, about 70 km from the capital. Five massive concrete structures, each 50 meters long and meant to support a highway bridge, collapsed one after another while being lifted into place by a crane.

Ko Kyung-man, an Anseong fire official, confirmed that four people died, including two Chinese nationals. Among the six injured, five were critically hurt, with one of them also being a Chinese citizen.

“They were installing a deck on the bridge when the collapse happened. All ten workers were on the deck and fell from both sides,” Ko explained.

Following the incident, Acting President Choi Sang-mok ordered emergency responders to use all available resources to find any missing workers and prevent further danger.

It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
