Two Chinese women were injured on February 7 when a house at Great Western Road and Chung Shan Road collapsed. The house was situated near the ruins of the former Kwang Wha University, in a district that was practically laid waste during last year's fighting.
The accident occurred shortly before 10 am. One of the women suffered skull fracture and concussion of.the brain and was in a critical condition when removed by a Fire Brigade ambulance. The other victim was less seriously affected. She suffered lacerations and contusions of the limbs and body. Both were taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital.
