At least six people, including three Cambodian migrant workers, were killed late on Monday when a condominium construction project north of Bangkok collapsed, according to news reports, officials and witnesses at the scene.

Twenty-four people, at least one of whom is Cambodian, were also injured in the collapse, which was said to have happened while workers were pouring concrete on the top floor. Public health officials reported 33 people were buried in the rubble of the six-storey building – 24 Thais and nine foreigners.

A passerby told the Post by phone that shouts could be heard from people trapped under the debris as the search and rescue team attempted to find and extract survivors. Some victims were in critical condition, and a man whom health officials intended on rescuing by amputating his legs died yesterday morning while still trapped under a beam.
