Bridge in south Seoul kills one, injures another

One person killed and another injured after the guardrail and the sidewalk of a stream bridge in Bundang, just south of Seoul, collapsed, police said.

A section of the guardrail and an adjacent sidewalk lining the outer edge of the bridge across the Tan Stream crumbled and fell onto a walking trail below, along with a toppled signpost, Yonhap reported.

The accident initially left one woman in her 30s in cardiac arrest and another man in his 30s injured in the back.

They fell off the bridge onto the walking trail, about 5 meters below the bridge.

The two were taken to a hospital, but the woman was later pronounced dead.

Police were considering the exact cause of the accident.
