At Least One Dead In New York City Crane Collapse

Posted by on


A crane collapsed in New York City on Friday morning, killing at least one person and injuring at least three. None of those injuries are considered life-threatening, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a press conference.

 Amid heavy snow and high winds, the crane smashed a line of cars parked on a street in lower Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood around 8:25 a.m. It stretches about two city blocks, according to CBS New York. Workers were securing and moving the crane when it toppled over, de Blasio said.


A man sitting in a car was killed, he added. "It looked like an avalanche -- or that the roof was caving in from the snow," witness Jesse Natale, who was stopped at a red light during the incident, told the New York Daily News.

 One of the people injured in the collapse was inside a vehicle at the time and had to be extricated by firefighters, according to the Daily News. Several buildings in the area have been evacuated, according to The Associated Press.
