1 dead, 15 hurt in Ayer Rajah building cave-in
SINGAPORE -- A basement cave-in at a construction site in Ayer Rajah has left one person dead and five others missing. Fifteen people who were hurt in the accident have reportedly been sent to the National University Hospital.
The collapse happened just before 2pm at the worksite of the Fusionpolis building and the MRT station at One-North. Engineers on the site say this is the deepest construction site in Singapore and that six or seven people may be trapped at the bottom.
The number of casulaties is currently unconfirmed. Some reports say that two are dead and 17 people are injured.
This cave-in comes a week after a portion of the Nicoll Highway collapsed, leaving four people dead. But this is an industrial accident that is not related to last week's cave-in at the underground site of the MRT Circle Line.
The Fusionpolis complex, which will house info-communications and media firms when completed in 2005, forms part of the Jurong Town Corporation's One-North development in Buona Vista.
