Tunnel collapses in Belgrade suburb, killing two, police say

A tunnel under construction collapsed early Friday in a Belgrade suburb, killing two workers, Serbian police said.

Predrag Maric, chief of the rescue brigade, said the accident occurred in Resnik, on the outskirts of the capital.

"Huge quantities of heavy, wet soil collapsed," Maric said.

One of the victims was alive when pulled from the rubble, but died soon after, Maric said. The second victim was dead when found hours after the accident, he said.

It was not immediately clear what caused the accident.
