A high-speed tunnel under construction in Yunnan collapsed on November 26, leaving six dead and six missing.

13 people trapped when the tunnel collapsed at 6 pm (5 pm Hanoi time) in Lam Thuong city on November 26. A survivor was removed from the rubble and later hospitalized in stable condition.

Flooding has complicated rescue work. Sniffing dogs and life detectors have been deployed. A medical team is waiting at the scene.

Industrial accidents occur frequently in China, despite efforts to improve safety training and testing. Last month, an underground car park under construction in southwest China collapsed, killing eight people.
