Four people were injured on Monday afternoon after a steel beam fell on them in Blumentritt, Manila.
Three of them sustained minor injuries and were cleared to go home, while the other one underwent medical tests and is awaiting results.
The Manila Police District (MPD) is investigating the incident.
The incident took place at a construction site 20 meters away from the LRT-1 Blumentritt station, according to the Light Rail Manila Corporation.
The initial police report mistakenly said the incident happened at the train hub.
Blumentritt Police precinct chief Lt. Ferdinand Cayabyab later clarified that the beam came from a foundation being built for the NLEX-SLEX connector road at the area.
NLEX Corp. said in a statement it will be “extending all possible assistance to the workers.”
“The company is committed to upholding safety standards on all its projects and will be conducting a full investigation of the incident,” NLEX Corp. said.
