Crane collapse in Thailand kills three, injures 10

A crane collapsed at a construction site just outside Thailand's capital, Samut Sakhon on Friday, killing three workers and injuring ten others, police said.

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.
