Crane collapse kills seven at Vietnam port
HANOI, July 15 (Reuters) - A crane being erected at a port in northern Vietnam collapsed on Tuesday, killing seven workers, a state-run newspaper reported.
Two workers died instantly during the collapse at Cai Lan port in Quang Ninh province and six were badly injured, the Defence Ministry-run Quan Doi Nhan Dan (People's Army) newspaper quoted Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Chu Thi of Quang Ninh's border army as saying.
Five of the victims later died and officials were investigating the cause of the collapse, the newspaper said. (Reporting by Ho Binh Minh; Editing by David Fogarty)
