More than 20 workers hurt in crane accident in Austin, Texas Authorities say two cranes collided at a construction site in Austin, Texas, causing one to partially collapse and injuring at least 22 workersAUSTIN, Texas -- Two cranes collided Wednesday at a construction site in Austin, Texas, causing one of them to partially collapse and injuring at least 22 workers who were sent scrambling for safety, authorities said. The development also includes a children's hospital near the accident site. Most of the injuries occurred when workers scrambled away from the accident scene, Noak said. One of the crane operators was still inside the crane cabin about 150 feet above the ground more than an hour after the accident, though that crane didn't appear to be damaged. Diane Stewart, who lives near the construction site, said she heard the collision while out for a walk.
