Eight workers were injured and two are missing when a scaffolding at the Downtown MRT Line's Bugis station collapsed on Wednesday morning.

 

The Land Transport Authority said the incident happend at about 6.50am, when a temporary scaffolding at the site of the new station gave way.

 

It said the structure was about 4m high. 'Eight workers who were working on top of the structure were injured and sent to the nearby Raffles Hospital. One worker has since been discharged,' an LTA spokesman said. 'At the time of report, another two workers are still unaccounted for.'

 

PUB workers were also seen checking the sewage pipes near the site, and police officers were carrying a body tent - usually deployed in cases where deaths occurred - at the site. However, there has been no confirmation of deaths as of now.

Should be the people there brought them to Raffles else SCDF ambulances will normally bring them to the non-private hospitals...........unless some changes were made after the Ferrari accident?
