Crane overturn crushes van

A mobile crane overturned in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia yesterday while lifting steel bars, its jib cab down on a parked van. Fortunately no one was injured in the incident.

The crane, working with main boom and A-Frame jib was said to have been overloaded as it lifted steel bar on an apartment complex on the Old Klang Road. While all local reports point towards substantial overloading the photograph that we have been sent does not show the crane itself.
