The Department of Buildings is investigating the collapse of a crane truck boom in Manhattan.
The incident occurred around 2:30 pm on Tuesday at a construction site located between 207th Street and Ninth Avenue in Inwood.
Following this incident, five construction workers were sent to the hospital.
A person has a serious injury, but it is not life-threatening; the other four suffered minor injuries.
The Department of Buildings says the truck was lifting a load of plywood onto the second-story deck when the boom gave way and fell, striking the workers.
Investigators say that the heavy rains that have fallen in recent days do not appear to have been a factor causing the incident.
