A bridge under construction has collapsed in Dubai, killing seven workers and injuring 15, police said.
The bridge was being built in Dubai Marina, a new development in the United Arab Emirates city which is a regional business and tourism hub.
More than 40 people were working on the bridge at the time of the collapse, police said.
Fifteen injured workers were admitted to Dubai's Rashid hospital, according to hospital officials.
Five who had serious injuries were airlifted to the hospital.
The bridge was being built over a small canal in the man-made marina complex, which is close to the showpiece Palm Jumeirah resort, a massive artificial palm-shaped island.
