The crane, used in the construction of a flyover from Chimbel to Milroc, collapsed at the construction site due to overload. The crane operator jumped out of the crane just before it collapsed. He was unhurt.
Locals said that it took several hours to remove the collapsed crane which led to a major traffic jam causing inconvenience to the people travelling on the route. According to the residents, this is the second such accident since the commencement of the flyover project.
Paul Fernandes, a resident, said that the villagers had opposed construction of the flyover security grounds.
