The massive metal girder on the Lat Krabang Tollway construction project in Bangkok crumpled to the ground late Monday (July 10) afternoon, catching pedestrians and drivers unaware.
At least one person has died after a huge construction girder over a busy road collapsed in the Thai capital Bangkok, police said on Monday , with videos of the terrifying incident rapidly shared online.
It is part of a project to build elevated highways in an attempt to ease the city's notoriously congested traffic. "We do not have any info about missing people yet," he said, adding that four of those injured were in serious condition. The wrecked girder — and much of the under-construction highway it also brought down — can be seen blocking the street.
