Fatal incident may not have been a crane

Reports of a fatal crane accident in County Donegal which involved contact with overhead wires yesterday, may in fact have been an excavator?

The operator Eamonn Bonner, 42, died on a water scheme near Dunlewey, we understand that he worked for Kilmac Construction and normally operated an excavator or telehandler.

Health and Safety Authority officials were on site yesterday afternoon

It was a mobile telescopic crane, the operator was not hurt but a man holding a shutter died when the crane struck the overhead lines.
