Raw: 55-tonne crane crashes into house


A 55-tonne crane has toppled over and crashed through a house in Albany on Auckland's North Shore. Emergency services were called to the Bluebird Crescent property in Unsworth Heights about 2.45pm, northern fire communications shift manager Dallas Ramsay said. "It appears a crane was moving a boat and the crane and the boat have fallen onto the house." Everyone in the area had been accounted for and one person was being treated for a minor leg injury, she said.
