A crane engaged in metro construction work at Silk Board junction in southern Bengaluru collapsed sideways on Friday night. No major injuries or casualties were reported.
The accident occurred around 8.15 pm on the service road that meets the down ramp of the Silk Board flyover, close to the Madiwala footbridge before the Jamia Masjid.
Sujeetha Salman, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic-South), told DH that the south-facing crane was engaged in fixing a metal gauge into the ground when it toppled to the right side on the one-way service road. The gauge tore through the metal barricade fixed along the drain, and a portion of the structure fell in, she said.
