Workers injured at construction site in Inwood after crane collapse
INWOOD, Manhattan (WABC) -- At least five workers were injured at a construction site in Inwood after a crane collapse on Tuesday.
The incident was reported at 207th Street and Ninth Avenue around 2:30 p.m.
One of the victims had serious but non-life-threatening injuries while the others were all said to be minor.
The crane itself was on a truck that was parked alongside the construction site and the crane appears to have snapped off at its base.

It is too soon to say if gusty winds played a role in the incident.
Investigators are on the scene and will determine the cause.
