The condition of a person injured in a landslide in Georgia has been described as critical.

A worker who survived a landslide during road construction has been hospitalized in Tbilisi. The doctor on duty described his condition as critical.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," a landslide occurred near the village of Tskeresi in Georgia during construction of the Kvesheti-Kobi road, trapping five citizens of Turkmenistan and China. Four workers died, one was hospitalized.

The injured man's condition is assessed as critical, said Bezhan Khozrevanidze, the doctor on duty at Tbilisi Central Hospital.

"He underwent a CT scan at our clinic. At this stage, no signs of traumatic injuries to the head, chest, or abdominal organs were detected. However, the patient's condition is assessed as critical. He is currently undergoing intensive treatment," InterPressNews quotes him as saying.

The Kvesheti-Kobi project involves the construction of a 23-kilometer two-lane road, five bridges, and four tunnels. The road is divided into two sections, both being developed by Chinese companies China Railway Tunnel Group Co. and China Railway 23rd Bureau Group Co. The project is being implemented under a loan agreement with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), with a total cost of 1.2 billion lari. The new road is scheduled to open in stages in 2026 and 2027, Novosti-Georgia reported today.

As a reminder, the Emergency Management Service and the Road Department have launched an investigation into the incident to ensure compliance with safety regulations and standards.
