ork: At least one dead after construction crane collapses in Manhattan
There were preliminary reports of additional injuries by some local media. A New York Police Department spokesman said the crane collapse was reported at 8:24 a.m. EST at the intersection of Worth Street and Broadway.
Television images showed the crane lying on top of several crushed
vehicles. It stretched out for more than one city block, according to
the New York Department of Transportation. The two injured persons were
transported to a hospital, the fire official said.
Local media reported that several people were trapped inside cars. The streets around the collapse were shut to vehicular traffic, and a major subway line running the length of Manhattan bypassed a station near the accident.
The fire department said on Twitter that the collapse occurred near 40 Worth St. Pictures released by the department showed the crane flipped upside down.
