Three construction workers killed in building collapse at Kasoa

Three construction workers have lost their lives after the building they were working on collapsed at Asempa down in Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.

According to a worker on site who survived, a carpenter and two other construction workers got entrapped under the rubble of the collapsed building.

The carpenter died on the spot while the others died while they were being evacuated to the hospital.

The workers were filling concrete for the first floor of the storey building when the entire building collapsed.

Patrick Sarfo, a worker on site who survived narrating the incident said, “I was standing by the machine surfing those working on the building. When I noticed that the building was gradually coming down, I pushed one of my brothers closer to me aside and I also managed to jump.”

“I noticed that the building was not strong from the foundation, so I prompted the boys to work on the building that the foundation was not strong. Passers-by helped us remove the people from the rubble.”
