Prosecution forms team to investigate Seoul overpass collapse

The Seoul Western District Prosecutors Office announced Wednesday it will form an 11-member team to investigate the Seosomun Overpass collapse that killed three people and injured three others.

The team includes four prosecutors and six investigators. It will cooperate with police and labor officials to determine the cause and assign responsibility while assisting victims.

The partial collapse occurred Tuesday during demolition work on the Seosomun Overpass in western Seoul. The victims were the chief supervisor of an engineering firm, the site manager and an outside expert.

The three injured workers suffered waist, head and rib injuries. A prosecution official said the team will work with police from the warrant stage onward.

Police raided the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on Friday, March 13, 2026, as part of the investigation into the 2024 Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 people. The raid came after the recent discovery of some victims' remains at the site, prompting President Lee Jae Myung to order a thorough probe into the mishandled recovery efforts on Thursday. The inquiry traces back to the airport's construction starting in 1999.

The death toll from Friday's fire at Anjeon Industry's car parts plant in Daejeon has risen to 14, with all previously missing workers accounted for, as President Lee Jae-myung visited the site Saturday, pledging a full probe and preventive measures amid 58-60 injuries.
