Building collapse at Australian university leaves at least 1 dead

Sydney/Xinhua: At least one person has died after a building collapsed at Curtin University in Australia's state of Western Australia (WA) on Tuesday, the national broadcaster reported.

The building was under construction when a large glass panelled ceiling gave way, crushing construction equipment and personnel beneath, with emergency services notified at roughly 12:30 p.m. local time.

In addition to one person being killed, two men in their 20s were rushed to hospital with "multiple injuries" according to paramedics.

Emergency service crews were also combing the rubble to release anyone trapped beneath.
As the area was under construction at the time of the collapse, no students or staff were believed to have been involved in the incident, according to a university spokesperson.

Curtin University is the oldest and largest in WA and is attended by roughly 60,000 students, including many from overseas.
