A serious workplace accident took place at a construction site in Paralimni, leaving two workers badly injured.
According to preliminary findings, the two men, aged 64 and 56, were standing on a mobile scaffold around two meters high when it gave way and both fell to the ground.
They suffered head injuries and multiple fractures. The 64-year-old was transferred to the Neurosurgery Department of Nicosia General Hospital, while the 56-year-old remains hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit of Famagusta General Hospital.
Authorities say both men are in serious condition. Local reporting indicates both are Greek Cypriots.
Investigators are examining whether the wheel-locking system worked properly and whether the scaffold had been assembled correctly. The Paralimni Police Station is handling the case.
