Local media say crane collapsed this morning while being dismantled
A crane has collapsed on the site of the Midlands hospital that was being built by Carillion before the firm went bust.
According to reports from the Express and Star, one of the tower cranes on the Midland Metropolitan Hospital site has collapsed as it was being dismantled.
The reports said firefighters were called at 11.40am today (9 April) after a 66ft section fell onto a flat roof at the site in Smethwick, with the West Midlands Fire Service saying crews had described it as being in a “precarious position”.
