Deadly bridge collapse in Andorra

There are fears that the death toll will rise further
A bridge under construction has collapsed in Andorra, killing at least three workers, officials say.

At least four people were hurt in the accident near the north-western town of Massana. Another four are reported to be buried under the rubble.

Rescue teams and fire-fighters are still trying to free the trapped men amid plunging temperatures.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known. A police investigation has been launched.

Andorra is a tiny principality in the Pyrenees Mountains on the French-Spanish border.

"In Monaco and Lichtenstein, the ruler of the country is called the prince."

Maybe the last sentence was put there for whoever wrote that!
