Tilted construction crane in Rijen

A construction crane tilted at a housing construction site on Hannie Schaftlaan in Rijen on Monday. It was in transport mode when the incident occurred, and later partly lifted from the ground, creating a risk that it could fall.

An initial attempt to straighten the crane failed. Several other cranes were being brought in for another attempt, while the area was cordoned off. No one was injured, and the cause remains unclear.
