Collapsed crane on Eglinton Ave east of Mt. Pleasant
A mobile crane used to move lighting for night work on the Eglinton LRT collapsed Monday evening when the ground under it was eroded by water, workers on the scene reported. One man closely involved in the incident said the crane operator was aware of the erosion and was making “one last move” of a light standard as the crane toppled over. This source, who identified himself as an apprentice crane operator, told The South Bayview Bulldog that he and the operator leaped clear of the crane as it fell over. He said no one had been injured in the incident although police reports spoke of one person with injuries.
