Rescuers are struggling to search five workers trapped after a
railway tunnel under construction collapsed on Sunday morning in
east China's Jiangsu Province, local authorities said.
Part of the tunnel collapsed at 3:25 AM when 23 people were
working at the construction site at the Tingzishan Hill in the
Pukou District in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province. 18 managed
to escape, according to the local government.
The 1,635-meter-long tunnel is part of the railway being built
to link Nanjing and Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province.
