[VIDEO] Truck Crane Topples onto Roof

A truck crane toppled over and crashed into the roof of a California couple’s home while carrying metal beams over the house on Monday. According to the report, the beams were to be used to install solar panels. No one was injured following the accident, according to officials. 

Magda Kispal, who owns the home with her husband John Kerwin, told CW affiliate KTLA they were inside when the crane came barreling through their roof.

"It was horrendous movement and noise," Kispal, 81, recalled to the outlet. "The movement was so bad, I thought it was an earthquake."

"[It] sliced right through the center of our house," Kerwin, 73, added. "Had it continued, it would have had us."

Henry Narvaez, a spokesperson for the LACoFC, did not specify how the truck crane toppled onto the roof. He told KTLA that the State Division of Occupational Safety and Health had responded to help clear the scene. And that the crane company—the name of which was not released—was sending another crane to lift the collapsed one from the home.

At this time, the couple has been displaced from their home, and is being housed by the Red Cross until their residence is fixed.
