Singapore: A 36-year-old Indian worker has died while clearing a tree in a forested site of a subway interchange project in Singapore.
Workers were trying to loosen soil around the tree when it fell on an excavator. It took two hours to extricate the worker, known only as Gunasegaran, from the excavator which was crushed by the tree, The Straits Times reported today.
Gunasegaran suffered spinal and nick injuries.
Officers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force used another excavator to level the ground and cut part of the tree to extricate Gunasegaran, who came to Singapore 15 years ago.
He is survived by wife and two daughters aged six and two in Sirkali in Tamil Nadu.
