By Bisola Adeyemo

A crane collapsed at a building site in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, killed at least eight persons including two Chinese nationals.

Local media reported that several people who sustained injuries were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

An eyes witnesses told the AFP that the accident at the site where a 14-storey student hostel was being built, happened as the crane was being dismantled.

“We were having lunch when we heard things falling and thought part of the building was coming down,” AFP quotes construction worker Michael Odhiambo as saying.

“When we got there, we found a crane had snapped and tumbled down,” he added.
