A three-storey building under construction at Berekuso in the Eastern Region has collapsed trapping some construction workers.<\/p>\n

A teacher at the Berekuso Basic School, Andrews Osei Bonsu, told Citi News<\/strong> that he heard a loud noise whiles he was teaching only to find out that part of the building had collapsed.<\/p>\n

He quoted a food vendor close to the building as saying that, two workers she was about to sell food to have been trapped in the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lady said that she saw at least two people who have been trapped. But I am told there were other people working on top of the building so we currently don\u2019t have the exact number of those trapped under there aside the two.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said other workers who were not very close to the building quickly fled the site to safety.<\/p>\n

Rescuers are yet to move to the scene to assist the victims.<\/p>\n

It is unclear yet what may have caused the collapse, but recent incidences<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of collapsed buildings<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the country have largely been blamed on architectural flaws and disregard for safety.<\/p>\n

More soon…
