News emerging that five people have been hurt by collapsing wall in Kunming.
At least five people were injured, one critically, when a seven-meter-high wall collapsed into Dongfeng Xi Lu at about 11am this morning. The wall was part of the Yunnan Hotel, which is currently undergoing demolition. The hotel is located on Dongfeng Xi Lu near Wacang Nan Lu in downtown Kunming.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud crash and seeing a cloud of dust. After the dust dissipated a pile of rubble was visible spread across the near Dongfeng Xi Lu bicycle lane and lodged against a public bus in the street. The collapse and ensuing emergency response blocked traffic on the major east-west thoroughfare until about noon.
