ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando firefighters responded to a crane collapse at a parking garage under construction near AdventHealth Orlando on Tuesday morning.
Investigators were called to the scene at 300 E. Smith Street around 9:30 a.m.
Officials said when it fell, the crane also took out some powerlines.
“The crane came over and took the powerline with it and when it went over it was so loud it sounded like a bomb went off,” witness Michael McIntosh said.
