TWO workers died and a third was severely injured in a fall from the 13th floor as scaffolding collapsed about 3pm yesterday at a building under construction in Nanhui in the Pudong New Area.
The injured worker was diagnosed with fractured lumbar vertebra, but was conscious with steady vital signs and was out of danger, Eastday.com reported.
The incident took place on Huichuan Highway. Other workers retrieved the three, who were under collapsed scaffolding, steel pipes and other materials, but two were declared dead upon arrival at a hospital.
Work safety officials and police are investigating.
