An all terrain crane installing sound barriers along a highway tipped over, falling into a residential area. One worker was killed and another was injured, according to a report on WFTV.
Video from the scene showed the crane’s boom lying across a fence and resting in a residential parking lot. The stabilizers appeared to have been deployed. No one in the residential area was injured, and a car was damaged.
The crane also damaged a Genie MEWP.
