The crane was said to be lifting a large steel tank or cage, when it tipped sideways with the boom coming down onto a building/arch at the entrance to the site of the new Wuhan Yangtze River Commercial Centre with the rest falling into the road. Two people were badly injured but are said to be in a stable condition.
