At least four people were injured this Monday when a crane fell at a construction site in Miami, in the United States.

The incident occurred in a construction zone in the American city, causing injuries to the occupants of the vehicle and to the two workers who were in the container. Local authorities were called to the scene and are investigating the causes of the crane collapse.
