Cause of Phuket wall collapse that killed three still unknown
PHUKET: Police still have not determined the cause of a wall collapse at a construction site yesterday that killed three Myanmar nationals.
The accident occurred at the Crystal Wild Resort, a property under construction on the Ao Yon-Khao Khad Road, at about 4:30pm, said Lt Jarus Lempan of the Wichit Police.
“The wall at the entrance to the hotel, which is on a steep slope, gave way,” said Lt Jarus.
The three women who died in the incident were named by police as: Nu, 25; Mo, 19; and May, 18.
Original reports claimed that a fourth Burmese woman was injured in the incident and taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital. Police and Vachira Hospital staff denied the report this morning.
