According to Sky News, twelve people have died and two others are missing after a crane collapsed and smashed into a work shed on a building site in southern China.
Authorities said the accident happened early on Wednesday morning in Dongguan,an industrial area in Guangdong Province.
More than 200 firefighters are searching for those who are still buried in the rubble, which covers an area of about 200 square metres.
Fourteen people rescued from the site remain in hospital.
The collapsed building appears to have been used as a dormitory for those working on the site.
An initial investigation suggests the crane was blown over by strong winds during a thunder storm.
