One person has miraculously been discovered alive in the Zen Drive construction site collapse.

Paramedics were seen taking oxygen down into the pit created by a TLB that was used to find the buried men. The man’s condition is unknown.

The remaining four construction workers have been confirmed dead.

The embankment behind the construction site collapsed just before 9am, burying the five men.
