Pakistani killed after barrel fell on his head

A 46-year-old Pakistani man was killed after a barrel filled with sand fell on his head while he was transporting it to the second floor in Saudi Arabia.

Wadi Khan has just lifted the barrel by a crane to the second floor in a building under construction in the southern province of Jazan when the barrel fell off.

“It fell right on the man while he was standing on the ground after lifting it by his crane…he was rushed to hospital but died on the way,” Okaz daily said.
