The factory, belonging to an individual company, was located in My Phuoc 3 Industrial Park, according to police in Ben Cat town.

“The workers were working on the construction of the steel factory. It was raining, and the wind was strong, which knocked down the factory,” a police source said.

“One of the workers could not run fast, and an iron bar fell on him, resulting in his death,” he added.

Police in Ben Cat town reached the spot to inspect and investigate the matter.

At 7 PM on April 17, police gathered information from witnesses for the investigation.
