ALBAWABA - A bridge under construction collapsed in the Netherlands on Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring two more, according to Dutch officials.
"An industrial accident occurred while building a bridge. Unfortunately, this resulted in two fatalities. Two people are injured," the Dutch regional safety authority wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Earlier, the authorities stated that a portion of the bridge under construction in Lochem, east of the country, had collapsed.
They initially reported four injuries, three of which were serious. It is unclear whether the two deaths were part of the original toll. A reporter from the local newspaper De Stentor was on the site and reported that builders were erecting bridge arches when the disaster happened.
"Suddenly there was a huge bang," the reporter said. "The entire arch started to swing. Then the whole thing fell down. We saw two construction workers fall down".
