Three workers have been killed and a fourth was injured when the scaffolding on a high-rise building site collapsed in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Three construction workers were killed and another seriously injured late Monday morning when an exterior lift system tore from the side of an office building under construction in downtown Raleigh in North Carolina.

A witness, LeRoy Kelley, said workers were dismantling a "mast climber" on the 11-storey Charter Square building on Fayetteville Street when the elevator-like system collapsed, sending a mobile scaffolding platform to the ground.

Kelley, of Raleigh, was working with concrete under the scaffolding when he heard a popping sound and someone shouting "Run!" As he ran beneath the building, he heard an enormous crash.
