Three killed as wall collapses on construction site in Isipingo

Three people have been killed
after a wall collapsed on them at a construction site in Isipingo Beach, south
of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal on Monday.

According to Rescue Care
spokesperson Garrith Jamieson paramedics arrived on scene in first Avenue at
around 17:00 and found Durban Fire and Rescue personnel as well as KZN
Emergency Medical Services.

“Four men had been working
on the construction site when the wall collapsed onto them,” Jamieson
said.

The three, believed to be in
their 30s, sustained major injuries and nothing more could be done for them.

They were declared dead on the
scene, Jamieson said.

One patient was treated for
critical injuries and was stabilised on the scene before being taken to a
nearby hospital, while another was treated on the scene but refused to be taken
to hospital, according to KZN EMS spokesperson Robert McKenzie.

At this stage the events leading up to the wall collapse are unknown and police were on the scene and would be investigating further, McKenzie said.https://allafrica.com/stories/201902190262.html
