Crane Collapse in New York City

At least one person has been killed by the sudden collapse of a crane in New York’s Upper East Side during the morning rush hour.

It crashed into the top floor of a 23-storey block of flats as it fell.

Firefighters have rescued several people from the wreckage, and continue to search for other possible victims.

It is the second such incident in the city this year – seven people died in a crane collapse in the same wealthy Manhattan area in March.

This latest collapse took place at the intersection of East 91st Street and First Avenue..
