The collapsed bridge is in the middle of a new development
A bridge under construction has collapsed in Dubai, killing seven workers and injuring 15, police said.
The bridge was being built in Dubai Marina, a new development in the United Arab Emirates city which is a regional business and tourism hub.
A large number of ambulances were driving to the scene of the accident.
Dubai's economy has boomed in recent years, fuelled largely by a construction industry reliant on low-paid workers, many from South Asia.
More than 40 labourers were working on the bridge at the time of the collapse, police said.
Fifteen injured workers were admitted to Dubai's Rashid hospital, reports said. Five who had serious injuries were airlifted to the hospital.
