Oops!
The driver of this
crane suffered a few cuts and scrapes when the crane toppled
Wednesday morning while attempting to remove one of the light
poles from Ram Stadium. The replacement of the lights is being
handled by Liteco Electric, Inc. of Waller, Texas. Wednesday
was the first day work began on the replacement of the lights
and poles. According to Bobby Fernandez, assistant
superintendent of operations and facilities, the supports on
the crane released causing the vehicle, which was positioned
on an incline, to begin listing. The added weight of the pole
increased the tilt and sent the crane, pole and light rigging
crashing down. The driver was able to jump out of the crane’s
cab to safety before it crashed.
