Heavy rain during the day reportedly had made the construction site muddy and slippery.

While lifting girders for the flyover, the heavy crane lost balance and toppled to the ground, eyewitnesses recalled to PTI.

Around six to seven workers were present at the scene during the incident. It is feared that three to four of them were crushed under the crane, witnesses said.
