Two dead after bridge collapses in Uran

Two persons died after a bridge on a creek collapsed on Monday in Uran, an official said.

The bridge, which connects Dadarpada and Dhudus villages, collapsed at 5:30pm, leading to the death of labourers Rajesh Laxman Waghmare (30) and Avinash Suresh Murkute (22), while two others were injured, he said.

''They worked at a nearby brick kiln and had ventured out for fishing. They got trapped after the 35-year-old bridge fell. The two labourers who were injured have been hospitalised,'' the Uran police station official said.
