CHANGSHA, Dec. 30 (Chinese media) -- At least three people were killed and five
others injured after a crane collapsed at a construction site and fell on an
adjacent hotel car park in central China's Hunan Province Monday.
The accident took place at about 5:30 p.m. at the Jinsenianhua (Golden Age)
real estate project being built in Lingling District of Yongzhou City, the
district's government said Tuesday.
A high-rise crane collapsed and fell on vehicles parked in the yard of
Hongtaiyang (Red Sun) Hotel and some people, an unnamed witness said.
The injured were taken to the hospital.
The local government held an emergency conference Monday night, ordering an
immediate overhaul of construction safety across the district and suspension of
the use of all cranes.
The cause of the accident was under investigation.
On Saturday, 17 workers were killed and another was badly injured after a
construction lift plunged, apparently because of overloading in Changsha,
capital of Hunan.
The lift was carrying 18 workers to the 30th floor of a residential complex
being built in the city's downtown area. The lift only has a designed capacity
for carrying 12 people.
