Si Racha –
A Myanmar construction worker has sustained serious injuries when a trench he was working in collapsed in Si Racha yesterday.
Rescue workers were notified of the incident yesterday afternoon at an intersection in the Bo win sub-district.
Police and emergency responders arrived at the scene to find a construction area in which a new drainage network was being installed on the side of the road.
The Myanmar worker, named only as Mr. Auto, 27, had sustained serious injuries and was unconcious after a large pile of dirt collapsed on top of him.
It took about an hour to move him out from the trench. He was rushed to a local hospital.
Another Myanmar worker, who declined to give his name, told rescue workers that it was raining lightly before the incident.
A backhoe was digging in the soil in which Mr. Auto was working before the soil collapsed.
Officials are reportedly set to investigate the incident.
