Indonesian killed in bridge collapse

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): An Indonesian laborer was killed and five others injured when an overhead bridge they were working on collapsed at a Malaysian factory, news reports said yesterday.

Kasuan Tarmoh, 30, died of head injuries in hospital a few hours after the accident at the plant belonging to Matsushita Television (M) Sdn. Bhd. on Saturday.

Kasuan, together with five other laborers, was mixing cement on a steel bridge linking an existing building with one under construction, when the structure collapsed.

Witnesses said they felt the buildings vibrate as the bridge went crashing to the ground.
