HURLEY, S.D. (AP) - A bridge collapse has injured three construction workers in southeastern South Dakota.

Turner County Sheriff Steven Luke says the workers were pouring concrete into rebar on top of the bridge southwest of Hurley when a support bar collapsed around noon Wednesday.

Luke says the workers’ injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.



The bridge fell about 10 feet (3 meters).

No vehicles were involved. Luke says the road had been closed for construction since the summer.

The Argus Leader reports the bridge that collapsed goes over Turkey Ridge Creek.
