YONGIN -- Police investigators will lead a multiagency probe into a crane collapse that claimed three lives at a construction site, official sources said Sunday.
On Saturday, three workers were killed and four others were seriously injured after a 90-meter-tall crane collapsed at a construction site in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, at 1:11 p.m.
The Yongin Eastern Police Station announced that it plans to conduct a joint forensic investigation at the site with the National Forensic Service, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and Yongin city officials at 2 p.m.
Investigators will look into what caused the accident and whether the workers followed safety measures at the construction site. The crane was imported approximately a year ago, but when it was actually made has not been confirmed.
