MELVILLE, Long Island (WABC) -- A construction crane toppled onto an office building on Long Island Thursday morning.



It happened on Broadhollow Road in Melville around 9 a.m., with the crane crashing into a building that houses an accounting firm.



Fortunately, none of the 15 employees inside was injured.



A company called "MCN Distributors" out of Islandia was apparently removing two air conditioner/heating units and delivering new ones at the time.



The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is on scene.



It is unclear what caused the crane to tip over.
