1st LD: Three Chinese workers die, one injured at hydropower project in northern Vietnam: local official

Xinhua, January 22, 2015 Adjust font size:

Three Chinese workers died and one other was injured while working at a hydropower project in northern Vietnam earlier on Tuesday, a local official told Xinhua on Thursday.

Tran Quy Duc, vice chairman of Ha Giang Provincial People's Committee, told Xinhua water was discharged into a conduit while four workers were working inside. Tragically the torrent swept them away.

Procedures are underway to bring the bodies of the three victims back home, Duc told Xinhua, adding that the health condition of the sole survivor is "quite stable" while being treated at a Ha Giang provincial hospital.

The relevant authorities are working to investigate the case, said Duc. Endi
