A crane mounted in a truck fell over in a vacant lot this morning in Hell’s Kitchen, authorities said.
No one was injured in the accident, which occurred around 10:05 a.m. on West 38th Street near Dyer Avenue, said a spokesman for the FDNY.
The city Buildings Department is investigating the cause.
It was at least the second crane accident in the city in a month.
Hurricane Sandy had damaged a much larger crane and left it dangerously dangling at a Midtown high rise after the storm.
