BEIJING (AP) — Rescuers in southern China were searching
Thursday for 13 workers missing after a railroad construction
site caved in in the business center of Shenzhen.
An emergency management bureau's statement said the collapse
occurred at about 11 p.m. Wednesday at a construction site on a
section of the Shenzhen-Jiangmen Railway in Bao’an district. The
line will link Shenzhen, a tech hub, and Jiangmen, both cities
in Guangdong province neighboring Hong Kong.
Residents living nearby have been evacuated. An investigation
into the cause was underway.
State broadcaster CCTV reported some roads were closed during
the operation.
China has seen collapses of a highway and a bridge that killed
dozens of people earlier this year. The collapses have raised
questions about the safety of China’s road and bridge
infrastructure, which was built rapidly in recent decades.
