DPA: Six injured in Tokyo when building crane falls onto street
Six people were injured Tuesday in Tokyo's Kojimachi business district after a large construction crane fell onto the street, Japanese media reports said. A 62-year-old woman suffered a cardiac arrest after the 28-metre crane operating at a construction site fell over onto the street. Another passerby was injured but still conscious, Jiji Press quoted the Tokyo Metropolitan Fire Department saying. The 38-year-old crane operator suffered a back injury, and three workers were rescued out of a truck. The crane was lifting a 6-ton cylinder used to pour concrete for a building foundation when it fell, blocking three lanes of traffic.
