Under-Construction Skybridge Collapses in City Center, Triggering Panic and Urgent Investigation
What was meant to symbolize progress and modern design turned to chaos on Thursday afternoon when a pedestrian skybridge under construction gave way, sending chunks of concrete and twisted steel raining down on one of the city’s busiest intersections.
The sudden collapse, which happened at around 2:30 PM, stunned bystanders and sent shockwaves through the downtown district.
Eyewitnesses Describe Seconds of Terror
Those nearby recall a split-second transition from normalcy to disaster. “There was this deafening crack, almost like an explosion,” said Sok Vanna, a motorbike taxi driver waiting at the lights. “I looked up and saw it bending, then crashing down. Everyone scattered—it was pure panic.”
Maria Santos, who runs a shop across the street, described the aftermath: “The street disappeared in a cloud of dust. The ground actually trembled. We’re just lucky this wasn’t rush hour, or we’d be talking about something far worse.”
Swift Emergency Response
Within minutes, police, firefighters, and medical crews had sealed off the area. Rescue teams, aided by search dogs, scoured the debris to ensure no one remained trapped beneath the rubble. Authorities confirmed multiple injuries among construction workers, most of whom were on break when the collapse occurred—likely preventing greater casualties. Several workers were treated at local hospitals for minor injuries and shock.
Investigation Underway
The firm overseeing the project, UrbanConnect Builders, issued a statement expressing “deep regret” and pledged to cooperate fully with investigators.
