A crane collapsed at a construction site near Thailand's capital on Friday, resulting in the deaths of three workers and injuring ten others, police reported.
The incident took place early Friday morning in Samut Sakhon, located west of Bangkok, when the crane, which was being used to build a flyover, collapsed.
Three workers died at the scene and 10 others were injured, with some in a critical condition, Detchanakorn Chanthaphum from the Samut Sakhon police told AFP.
"We saw three bodies," he said, adding that they had died instantly.
A team of engineers and police are investigating the cause of the collapse, which authorities suspect was caused by an overloaded girder.
Construction accidents are common across Thailand, with business operators often ignoring safety requirements and operating without permits.
In March seven people were killed when a crane fell during construction work at a factory east of Bangkok.
