NEW YORK: A giant crane crashed in New York’s Tribeca neighbourhood, killing one person and injuring two others, a fire department spokesperson said.
The crane fell lengthwise along Worth Street, hitting several parked cars but also a vehicle in the middle of the road.
The crane was mounted on a mobile tracked vehicle, which overturned when the crane fell.
The cause of the accident was not immediately known, but it occurred during heavy snowfall. --AFP
