At around 12:10 noon on the 26th, at the construction site of an elementary school in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, a Chinese worker in his 50s was crushed to death by a forklift.
A, who was resting on the 6th floor of the building, had an accident while a large crane was lifting the forklift from the 1st floor and lowering it to the 6th floor of the building.
When the 119 paramedics were reported and sent, it was already known that Mr A was dead.
Police have charged the crane driver with negligent homicide on the job, and are investigating whether the construction workers followed safety rules correctly, such as whether a signalman was installed.
We are also reviewing whether the construction site is subject to the Serious Accident Penalty Act.
