A construction worker at the border bridge connecting Hong Kong with Macau and Zhuhai died on Thursday after he was apparently hit by a falling steel beam.

Police said they received a call at around 2pm over the incident at the Shun Wui Road site.

Officers said two workers were suspected to have been hit by an H-beam. One suffered limb injuries and was conscious when taken to North Lantau Hospital.

The other worker was declared dead at the scene.
