A long-boom crane was hoisting a knock-down prefabricated house weighing at least one tonne from the back of a lorry, moving it to a prepared plot of land. Unable to bear the weight, the crane and its load fell onto a two-storey wooden house in the adjoining community. She ran out and saw the crane lying across the house and the prefabricated house it had been lifting now resting amid the debris inside. Witnesses said when lifting such a heavy load across power lines, the load should have been lowered to reduce the strain on the crane.
