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.
