Crane collapse kills two

A tower crane collapsed knocking over another on Monday at a construction site in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province Eastern China. Two people were killed and four others injured

The cranes belonged to the local Fangyuan Construction Group Company, no details of what might have caused the accident have yet been released. Neither do we know if the two fatalities are the operators, or men on the ground.

One report suggests that the crane that collapsed was being extended or dismantled, however we have no second source for this.

Officials are continuing to investigate the incident.
