Investigation underway as partial collapse kills man on McGee site.
One man has been killed and another has been injured after a partial building collapse in Grosvenor Square this afternoon.
A man believed to be in his early thirties who was working on the site at 20 Grosvenor Square and was pronounced dead at the scene while at least one other person was injured. Salima Cherrad, who works as a receptionist in the area, said she had seen construction workers coming out of a building that had had scaffolding up. We saw a helicopter here in Grosvenor Square and we assumed it was something that happened with the guys and the scaffolding. There were lots of them who came out of the building at the same time and they were all gathering at one spot in the square.”
Re-development work on 20 Grosvenor Square started last summer and the development team said they are liaising with the workers’ families.
A spokesman said: “Earlier this afternoon an incident occurred on the construction site at 20 Grosevnor Square which required an ambulance to be called for two workers who were taken to hospital.
“McGee, the contractor responsible for the site, is liaising with the workers’ families.
