Sixteen people are trapped after a tunnel along the Daqing-Guangzhou Expressway collapsed Sunday night in east China's Jiangxi Province, local authorities said Monday.
The tunnel, which is still under construction, collapsed at around 10 p.m. in Longnan County in the city of Ganzhou, said rescuers.
By Monday noon, the trapped people still had not been found.
The tunnel is part of the 3,429 km-expressway that spans from northeast China's Heilongjiang Province all the way to southern Guangdong Province.
