Seven people were killed on Friday March 29 in Thailand when a construction crane collapsed during construction work on a factory, local authorities announced.
The victims were all workers, according to local media.
“The accident occurred during the construction of a metal chimney factory” in Rayong province (south-east of the capital Bangkok), around 4 a.m. (00 a.m. GMT), he told the AFP the local police chief, Chaipong Sangpongchai.
Construction site accidents are common in the country, where companies often disregard safety rules and operate without permits.
In January, an explosion at a fireworks factory in Suphan Buri (north of Bangkok) killed 23 people. In July 2023, ten people died, and around a hundred injured, in another explosion at a factory in Narathiwat, in the south of the country.
