RIYADH: Three workers died and 11 were injured after a scaffolding collapsed at a construction site in Riyadh on Monday, officials said.

First Lt. Muhammad Al-Hubail, acting spokesman for the Civil Defense in Riyadh, said the accident happened at Princess Noura bint Abdul Rahman University.

He said the injured workers were taken to the National Guard Hospital. “An investigation has been ordered into the incident. Many Civil Defense units and helicopters participated in the rescue operations and airlifting of those injured to hospital,” he added.

Located east of Riyadh, the university was established under the instructions of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah to bring together all female colleges in the national capital under one roof.
