Two workers employed by the Turkish association Mapa-Cengiz were surprised by the collapse of a soil bank in the locality of Boița. The Sibiu County Ambulance Service intervened quickly with two teams, and the victims, a 21-year-old man and a 50-year-old man, suffered severe spinal and limb injuries.

The 21-year-old was found unconscious but was stabilized through emergency medical maneuvers. After receiving first aid, both workers were transported conscious to the Sibiu Emergency Reception Unit for further investigations. The accident occurred at the construction site of Section 2 of the Sibiu-Pitești Highway, considered the most complex section of road infrastructure in Romania, where intense work is being carried out on three tunnels.

The project, valued at 4.25 billion lei, is essential for connecting Transylvania with Muntenia.
