At around 9:40 a.m. yesterday, an accident occurred at a construction site on Sima Qiao Road in Chenghua District: a mobile pile driver had toppled onto its side, its boom pinning down a small truck with license plate ChuanA431PF and several power lines, while the tip of the boom struck a fruit shop, injuring 5 people. Among them, 64-year-old Bao Maolin was more seriously injured, with three broken ribs and a punctured lung, and required hospital observation and treatment. The other 4 injured people are currently not in life-threatening danger. "Fortunately, the boom was blocked at the time." Eyewitness Li Guihua said that when the pile driver toppled, because a small truck happened to be passing by, the boom first pressed onto the truck's cargo box, which absorbed most of the falling force.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter learned from employees at the site of the incident that after the accident, construction at the site had been suspended. The specific cause of the accident is under investigation by the relevant departments.
