MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The collapse occurred on Tuesday afternoon, although the company informed of the incident only on Wednesday.
"Our Moa JV had a safety record of a decade without a reported fatality prior to this event. The bridge had suffered damage from Hurricane Matthew, and our JV employees have been undertaking repairs since the end of October. We extend our sympathy and condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of the four employees," Sherritt International President and CEO David Pathe said as quoted in the company’s Wednesday release.
An investigation is underway into the cause of the collapse.
