Five vehicles were badly damaged when a crane at a construction site collapsed in front of the Dang Wangi police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.

However, no one was reportedly injured in the mishap which occurred at about 5pm.

Dang Wangi police chief Shaharuddin Abdullah said a team of police officers were rushed to the scene immediately after being alerted to about the incident.

“Initial checks revealed that five vehicles being parked at a parking area near the construction site were badly damaged,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

Meanwhile, a witness Ramli Bakar, 57, said he heard a loud bang when the incident occurred.

“I was on my way home when I passed by the area... the crane tilted before it fell onto the cars.

“It was a very loud sound and in fact, you could feel the shock a bit before passers-by began to congregate in the area. Thank God no one was injured,” he said.
