Nobody hurt after a crane owned by J.D. Irving toppled over in the South End this morning. It was just after ten o'clock when the machine was getting in place to move pieces of wind turbines.
Deputy Fire Chief Mark Gillan tells CHSJ News, the crane crashed just after ten o'clock and fire crews had to be careful in approaching it as the motor was still running and there was fuel leaking from it.
The operator of the crane is a 66-year old man and has been taken to the Regional to get checked out but from all reports is going to be fine.
Charlotte Street between Broad Street and Broadview Avenue is closed after the Crane accident this morning.
The city telling CHSJ news that heavy equipment is on the way to clean up the site and we are told the street will not re-open before tomorrow morning.
Work-place, Health and Safety is trying to figure out what happened.
