It was learned this morning that yesterday afternoon, near Fuzhou South Railway Station and Yongnan Middle School in Chengmen Town, Cangshan District, Fuzhou, a construction site experienced a sudden collapse of a bridge under construction. As of around 21:00 on March 2nd, according to the bridge contractor China Railway 24th Bureau Fujian Company, the collapse accident of the bridge under construction has resulted in 2 deaths and 4 injuries.

At around 5:30 pm on March 2, 2020, near Fuzhou South Railway Station in Chengmen Town, Cangshan District, Fuzhou, near Yongnan Middle School, a construction site experienced a sudden collapse of a bridge under construction.

When the bridge collapsed, it crushed a prefabricated house. One end of the bridge was raised and the other end plunged into the ground about 1 meter deep, causing the construction vehicle to fall and deform.

According to the contractor of the collapsed bridge under construction, it is China Railway 24th Bureau Fujian Company. According to personnel from China Railway 24th Bureau Fujian Company, the beam of this bridge is connected by two sections of the bridge, supported by a pier below. The reason for this serious safety accident may be that these two sections of the bridge were not properly connected.

Some people also claim that the accident may be related to the vehicle colliding with a bridge. The specific cause of the accident is currently under investigation.

At that time, nearby villagers who were at home suddenly heard a loud noise and felt that the entire earth seemed to shake with a loud roar. The villager thought an earthquake had occurred and immediately put on his clothes before running out.

According to the villager at the scene, he found that there was no earthquake, but he saw that the source of the huge noise was actually caused by the collapse of a bridge under construction not far from him.

The villager saw that the originally horizontal bridge was now tilted at an angle, with one end carrying a pier and the other end being pressed against the movable plank house below the bridge, while the other end is raised high and facing upwards.

Around the bridge under construction, there are also several vertical power poles that have collapsed due to the bridge breaking. As the bridge is not yet completed, there is a sign erected by the construction unit under the bridge, which reads "Important construction site, no unauthorized entry". A large number of construction tools are placed next to the bridge piers.

In addition to being frightened, the villager immediately remembered to save someone, so he immediately picked up the phone and called 110 and 120 to report to the police.

The fire department, police officers, and rescue personnel who quickly received the alarm call quickly drove to the scene of the accident to carry out emergency rescue. The traffic police department immediately imposed traffic control on the intersection of Lulei Road and Yongnan Road in Fuzhou. At the intersection of Lulei Road and Yongnan Road, except for emergency firefighting and rescue vehicles, no unrelated personnel or vehicles are allowed to enter.

On the evening of March 2nd, a staff member from the duty room of the Fuzhou Urban and Rural Development Bureau stated that the bridge involved in Yongnan Road on Lulei Road in Fuzhou is not a project managed by the bureau, "it is not our own project, it is a railway project."

A staff member of the Fuzhou Emergency Management Bureau introduced that after the accident, the fire department has intervened in rescue efforts. It stated that some workers were trapped when the bridge collapsed, and several workers who were later rescued were unharmed. "It is still unclear whether there were any casualties," it said

The Fuzhou Fire Rescue Brigade has learned that as of around 20:00, the rescue efforts for the bridge collapse accident have been completed.

At around 21:00 on March 2nd, according to the bridge construction company China Railway 24th Bureau Fujian Company, the collapse accident of the bridge under construction caused a total of 2 deaths and 4 injuries.

The personnel injured in the accident have been sent to the hospital for rescue as soon as possible, and their lives are no longer in danger. The cause of the bridge collapse accident is currently unclear and further investigation is underway.

In addition, according to the Fuzhou Municipal Government's Citizen Service Hotline, the Citizen Service Hotline has not yet received any reports of the impact on the operation of the train station.
