A collapse at an overpass demolition site left three people dead and three others injured in Seoul on Tuesday. According to fire and city authorities, the collapse occurred at around 2:33 p.m. at the site of the Seosomun Overpass demolition in Seodaemun District, central Seoul. Officials say part of the bridge deck suddenly caved in during safety inspection work, falling onto workers and vehicles below. Among the 12 workers present at the site, three men \u2014 one in his 50s and two in their 60s \u2014 were killed. Three others sustained injuries to the head, waist, ribs and other parts; all were transported to nearby hospitals. The incident occurred while engineers were carrying out a safety assessment following the discovery of a subsidence gap during slab-cutting work earlier in the day, according to officials. Lee Jong-un, head of the Seodaemun Fire Station\u2019s disaster safety bureau, told reporters it appears that the girder collapsed while they were inside. Girders are structural beams that support the weight of a bridge deck. Emergency responders arrived at the scene within minutes. At<\/div>\n
