Two labourers perish in Dutch city bridge collapse

Two workers in the Netherlands died when a bridge they were building collapsed.

The accident in Lochem happened when the ropes broke on a bridge part being lifted into place, and it fell to the ground.

Two more people got hurt and are getting help at the hospital.

Authorities are calling the bridge collapse an “industrial accident” and are currently investigating what caused it.

Authorities told the Dutch broadcaster NOS that one of the workers who died was from Belgium and the other was from Poland. No more information about their names or ages was given.

Many people were watching the part of the bridge being moved into position when it suddenly fell down. They are getting help for their mind.

One person saw the arch moving and then heard a loud bang.

They are going to build a bridge over a big canal in Lochem, a city in the eastern part of Gelderland, as part of a new road.

The mayor, Sebastiaan van ‘t Erve, told the AFP news agency that everyone was very surprised by the accident on the new road that people had been waiting for.

We have been working on building for five years. “And then all of a sudden, everything falls apart in just one day. It killed two people and hurt two more,” he said.

The mayor said they didn’t know why the building collapsed, and that they were still looking into it.

The local police said that the two hurt people were brought to the hospital and are expected to get better.

“They were trying to raise the bridge, but something went wrong. ” You can look at the wires. The bridge started to spin. “The bridge part fell to the ground,” said Andre Meilink from the regional safety authority to NOS.
