The accident occurred on 19/05/2026 afternoon during bridge work on a Philippine road project. A crane suddenly collapsed while lifting a concrete girder, striking an unhelmeted construction worker who later died.

Authorities are investigating safety violations by the construction company, which remains silent. Meanwhile, the crane operator faces charges of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide. The victim's family will waive lawsuits if financially compensated. Notably, this controversial bridge project has remained unfinished for nearly a decade.
