A construction worker survived a plunge from the seventh floor of a multi-storey car park in Hong Kong’s Kowloon on Saturday morning after landing on a truck filled with bamboo poles.
Police received a report at 11.33am that a man had fallen onto a truck stacked with bamboo used for scaffolding outside the car park building at Choi Wan (I) Estate in Ngau Chi Wan.
A police spokeswoman said the man, 39 and surnamed Chan, was believed to have been working on scaffolding 30 metres above the truck before the incident.
Pictures circulating on the internet showed the man’s head, face, arms and bare chest covered in blood. His arms were also bandaged.
A stack of scaffolding brackets was also found on the seventh floor of the car park.
