The crane, a four axle Grove owned by Branson Crane Service, may have seen a little subsidence under its rear outrigger, but was most likely overloaded. The incident occurred at the premises of Mr Ice Man, a refrigeration specialist.

A smaller crane was brought in to stabilise the stricken crane and help with the recovery, the incident hit the power out in the immediate downtown area.
