According to the information obtained, a crane—positioned on the sidewalk in front of an 11-story building to facilitate construction work—toppled over for reasons yet to be determined and hit the building’s entrance. Following reports, police and fire crews were dispatched to the scene. Although no one was killed or injured, the impact caused damage to the building’s entrance and other sections. Police closed the street to traffic as a precautionary measure, while fire crews conducted an inspection of the building. Efforts to remove the toppled crane have since begun.
