On Tuesday, a section of the Seosomun overpass collapsed during demolition work in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, killing three men and injuring three others. The accident occurred at approximately 2:32 p.m., with part of the overpass falling onto a vehicle at the site. The deceased included two men in their 60s and one in his 50s, with one victim found trapped and later pronounced dead at the hospital. Emergency services reported that six workers evacuated before the collapse. The overpass, constructed in 1966, had been rated Grade D in a recent safety inspection, indicating severe safety concerns. Following the incident, President Lee Jae Myung instructed authorities to ensure a comprehensive investigation and response. Prime Minister Kim Min-seok also issued directives for rescue operations and medical support for the injured. The exact cause of the collapse remains under investigation, and both major candidates for the upcoming mayoral election in Seoul suspended their campaigns to focus on recovery efforts.
