When it fell, the construction machine hit the five-story building, causing “some damage to the balconies but no risk of collapse for the moment”indicates the Haute-Corse fire and rescue service (Sis 2B), while specifying at the start of the evening that “recognitions are still underway”.
No casualties have been reported.
If the accident appears spectacular, the damage seems, for the moment, to remain modest. “The track is cut and a car has been damaged,” according to Sis 2B.
Firefighters, civil security, law enforcement, municipal authorities and the developer went to the scene.
Security operations will continue into the evening. The crane may not be cleared until tomorrow morning, Monday.
