One person has died after a two storey building under construction at Wa in the Upper West region collapsed.

Two other people sustained varying degrees of injuries when the building collapsed this morning.

The building belongs to Yorke properties, agents of GN Bank, formerly known as First National Bank.  

The injured have since been sent to the hospital for treatment.

An eye witness told Joy News they heard a loud sound and rushed to the scene only to see the storey building cave-in.

"We saw the building collapse from up-down," he said.

He said they rushed the injured persons to the hospital.

It is not yet clear who the deceased person as well as injured persons are.
