Investigation launched following crane accident
An investigation has been launched after a crane apparently lost balance and fell onto a building at 310 Racquet Club Road in Weston, US. Nobody was injured and the cause of the accident is not yet clear. The Broward Sheriff's Office, investigating the incident, told Cranes Today: "Due to the minor nature of the accident, detailed information on the make and model of the crane were not recorded by the media relations staff on scene." It added: "The crane had a small boom attached to the front of a flat bed truck."
