Eleven people were injured when an airport underpass collapsed in southwest Yunnan Province yesterday evening, Xinhua News Agency reported.
All of the injured are construction workers who were placing concrete in the cargo vehicle underpass at the Xiaoshao International Airport of Kunming, the provincial capital, at about 7pm.
Three of the workers suffered serious crush injuries, while the rest were discharged from hospital after having their injuries treated, Kunming police said early this morning.
