Two people lost their lives and
at least two others suffered serious injuries when a bridge under construction collapsed
this Wednesday in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.
The bridge
collapsed during the morning over the Twente Canal in Lochem, a town in the eastern
part of the country, leaving people trapped under the rubble,
a regional security office in Gelderland reported.
A group of
workers were building the new bridge when one of its arches broke
off, according to Dutch media reports. The Dutch
Labour Inspection Office will investigate the accident.
Firefighters,
paramedics and police officers came to the scene shortly after the incident was
reported. The two injured were taken to the hospital and were
reported to be out of danger.
