RT roll in Bermuda

A Rough Terrain crane overturned on a hotel construction site in Bermuda yesterday trapping and injuring the operator in his cab.

The incident occurred at the St Regis hotel in St George where the Terex crane was, we understand, traversing an uneven side slope when it rolled landing on the cab. An excavator with a web sling attempted to right the crane, but in the end the fire crews used airbags to raise the crane sufficiently in order to extract the operator who was found to have suffered a leg injury.
