Bangkok- An under construction overpass bridge located at the On Nut-Lat Krabang Road in Bangkok has collapsed near dusk yesterday evening, July 10th, 2023, killing at least two people and injuring eight more.

 

Mr. Wisanu Subsompol, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, told the associated Thai press that the under construction bridge appeared to have flipped over while significant traffic was in the area under the bridge construction.

 

Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, or BMA, officials confirmed at least two deaths and right injuries but cautioned that this was not final as ongoing searches for people possibly trapped under the rubble were ongoing.

hope they figure out concrete bridge construction before they open for traffic, but in the land of no accountability, we might just have to get used to more collapsing roads in the future headlines

On my kids’ school bus route and my wife visited a nearby clinic just a few hours before. We  are counting our lucky stars regarding the timing and condolences to the families of the dead and injured. 
 

Hoping for a thorough enquiry to prevent repitition but not holding my breath. School closed at least today.
