A serious accident was reported at the Peddavagu Railway Bridge in Kagaznagar, where two workers were trapped during ongoing construction work. The incident occurred within a box bridge structure that is currently being built as part of the railway third-line expansion project.
According to initial reports, the workers were carrying out routine construction activities when a portion of the structure or supporting material gave way, leading to both of them getting trapped beneath the bridge. The sudden collapse created panic at the site, prompting an immediate rescue response from fellow workers and authorities.
Rescue teams rushed to the location and managed to safely pull out one of the workers, who was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. His condition is reported to be serious but stable. However, the situation remains critical for the second worker, who is still trapped beneath the structure. Reports indicate that he has sustained severe injuries and is bleeding heavily, raising urgent concerns about his survival.
