A Portuguese man believed to be in his early thirties died yesterday when he fell off scaffolding at the construction site for a new residential block of flats on the Avenida de la Sierra in Logroño.

Two other men survived the accident with minor injuries such as bruising and pulled muscles.

It seems that the scaffolding had been erected incorrectly and was too far from the wall.

The three men were employed by Inceforo García, a Portuguese electrical company subcontracted by the constructors, Hersanz, and been working on the outside of the third floor.
