Two cranes collided at a construction site in north Austin on Wednesday, causing one to partially collapse. The cranes became entangled several stories above a building in a developing area that includes residential, retail, and commercial space.
22 workers were injured in the accident, including 16 who were transported to hospitals with non life-threatening injuries, according to Austin-Travis County EMS spokesman Darren Noak. Most of those injuries occurred when workers were forced to run for cover.
