A crane collapsed into an under-construction building in Toronto's east end on Thursday afternoon, police say. The crane's arm appears to have crumpled over the top of the building, with the end of the arm hanging over. Thankfully, there are no reported injuries at this time.
The building under construction is on Vanderhoof Avenue near Laird Drive and Eglinton Avenue East. Police say no injuries are reported.
As seen in CP24 chopper footage, the crane’s arm appears to have crumpled over the top of the building, with the end of the arm hanging over. Toronto Fire Deputy Chief Jim Jessop told CP24 the crane operator was able to safely get out of the crane, adding that they brought two of their special technical operations on the scene in case they needed to repel up.
