A crane has collapsed in Lower Manhattan this morning killing one, seriously injuring at least two others, and breaking multiple gas mains.<\/p>\n

Pictures from the scene in Tribeca at 40 Worth Street between West Broadway and Church Street show a collapsed crane stretching across a row of smashed cars.<\/p>\n

Authorities were notified of the collapse at approximately 8:25am, according to various reports.<\/p>\n

The deceased was in a car pinned beneath the crane, NYC Fire Wire, a social media channel run by off-duty firefighters, reports.<\/p>\n

The New York City Fire Department is on the scene.<\/p>\n

Further details, such as what construction site the crane was servicing, have not yet been released.<\/p>\n
