A 27 year old man has died after a building collapsed on him while he was digging a trench at a building site in Macassar.
When ER24 paramedics arrived at the scene they could see that the incident was severe. The entire building structure had collapsed to its one side into the trench the worker was digging.
Rescue workers used equipment to lift the building structure so that Emergency Medical Personnel could get to the worker. Unfortunately the worker sustained various crushing injuries and was later declared dead at the scene.
The appropriate authority will be investigating the incident further.
