A man has died and a teenager is in critical condition following an accident at a building site.
Emergency services arrived at the scene in Liverpool at around 3:30pm on Wednesday 19 May.
They were responding to reports of two men found seriously injured after “falling,” according to the Mirror.
Local reports say that a construction lift on the corner of Chapel Street and Rumford Place fell and caused the building to shake.
A pedestrian area by the Pier Head in Liverpool's city centre was also shut for the air ambulance.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue service said two fire engines and the search and rescue team were also at the scene.
Police confirmed that one of the men, aged 53, has died from his injuries on Thursday 20 May.
A spokesperson said: "Following an incident at a building site on Chapel Street yesterday afternoon, we can confirm that a 53-year-old man sadly died at the scene.
"The man’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers at this time.
"The second man, aged 18, was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition.
"An investigation is being carried out by detectives and the Health and Safety Executive and officers remain at the scene today while enquiries are carried out."
A spokesman for the Health and Safety Executive said: "HSE are aware and are investigating with the police."
One worker at an office block described how the building shook when the construction lift fell.
He told the Liverpool Echo : "The lift dropped a few flights. We heard screeching and then the crash. It shook the building."
