Bangkok Expressway Bridge Collapse Kills 5, Injures 24

The early morning accident at a major construction site has prompted investigations and a temporary suspension of contractors.

An elevated road under construction in southwestern Bangkok collapsed early Saturday, killing five people, including four workers and an engineer.
The collapse also injured 24 others at the site, with no road users affected as nearby traffic lanes were closed during construction.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse and plan to pursue legal action against those found responsible.
The contractors involved in the project have been suspended for 14 days, and the transportation ministry is working on stricter safety regulations for future projects.
The accident highlights ongoing concerns about construction safety in Thailand, a country with a history of fatal construction site incidents.
