Ohio crane collapse kills three
Published:  February 17, 2004

Three people were killed yesterday when a crane collapsed at a bridge construction site in Ohio, US. The crane was being used as part of a US$277 million scheme to build a new crossing alongside the existing Craig Memorial Bridge over the Maumee River near Toledo. The crane was apparently moving but not carrying any of the 85t deck sections when it collapsed. An investigation is under way.
