Crane on its side

Post #1 by Julian » Sun Dec 02, 2012 2:55 pm

This happened near me a few days ago - the road was closed for 3 days while they recovered it yesterday using two large Ainscough cranes.

The council had dug up the verge recently to do a drain or pipeline and so the earth on the verge was still very soft. This crane had come down the road and got its nearside wheels on the soft earth and rolled over.
