A large construction crane has collapsed in lower Manhattan in New York City, killing one person and injuring at least two others.<\/p>\n
The Fire Department of New York confirmed the fatality and is on the scene responding to the accident.<\/p>\n
The collapse happened along West Broadway early on Friday morning in the Tribeca neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
The downed crane, which filled the street, fell onto numerous parked cars.<\/p>\n
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the victim was sitting in a parked car at the time of the accident, and that it was caused by high winds.<\/p>\n
Workers were in the process of lowering the crane due to the high winds when it collapsed. No workers were injured.<\/p>\n
