At 4.20pm yesterday, Friday the 13, Kusoldham rescue waters responded to an alert that a construction worker had been seriously injured by a collapsed brick wall in Phuket town’s Rassada neighborhood.
Arriving to the seen, on the route between Rajbhat Phuket and Thai Village, at lot number 25 of the Moo 6 community, rescue workers met property owner Mr Suwit Akchu, 47, who led them to the victim lying on his back surrounded by a pile of bricks, fallen from a concrete-reinforced property wall.
The victim, identified as Jansa Sorsoongnern, 26, from Saraburi, was conscious and responsive to rescue workers, though had lost a lot of blood from an apparent head injury.
The man was administered oxygen and transported to Vachira hospital.
Mr Suwit told authorities that he had hired Mr Jansa for B2,500 to dissemble the wall, to make way for a new house construction project. According to Mr Suwit, Mr Jansa had been working hard since the late morning. Authorities suspect he may have worked too hard and quick to knock down the wall, which ended up knocking him down instead.
