SEOUL, April 11 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- A tunnel construction site in Gwangmyeong, south of South Korea’s capital Seoul, collapsed on Friday, leaving two workers unreachable, Yonhap reported, citing authorities.
The site had been evacuated earlier in the day after authorities were alerted to the risk of collapse following the discovery of cracks in multiple pillars used in the construction of the underground tunnels.
The collapse occurred at 3.17 pm, causing a section of the road above ground to cave in and damaging several nearby buildings.
