UP Bridge Collapse: 5 Dead as Severe Storm Hits Hamirpur Construction Site

“Around midnight last night, a very strong storm hit. We all woke up. A bridge was being built about 400 meters from my village. Work was going on through the night. Due to the storm, the segments broke and fell. Consequently, the support pillars also broke, and all the segments collapsed. Two of our guards, who were protecting the bridge, were crushed and died. There is an estimate of four labourers involved–two have been accounted for, and two are believed to be trapped. It appears this accident was caused by the storm.”
