The Bridge fell - Captain - 04-25-2013
A number of sugar workers from the Wales Sugar Estate had to be rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital yesterday after an access bridge at Canal Number Two Polder, West Bank Demerara, collapsed early yesterday.
According to an official of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), nine workers fell into the canal which separates the main road from the cane fields. The walkway bridge has been there for years and it is believed that the supports collapsed sending the workers into the waters below.

None were seriously injured.
Kaieteur News was told that 175 workers, from two gangs, were scheduled to work at the fields south of Canal Number Two. Some 175 of them had already crossed when the structure collapsed.
Yesterday, workers from the Wales Estate were at the scene making repairs. The incident is said to have occurred before 06:00 hrs.
