No one was injured in the incident, in which the Manitowoc was apparently carrying out a tandem lift of a steel slider beam with another crawler crane when it went over sideways.

The crane dropped the steel beam into the road below.

According to local police, the operator, who works for New Enterprise Stone and Lime had his seat belt on at the time and was able to exit the cab without a mark. US 15 was closed while the lift took place, so there was no traffic below, although the falling beam narrowly missed a boom lift on the road below. 

The road is expected to remain closed until the weekend. We will update this report if and when we learn more.
