BREAKING: At least 1 dead, 6 injured after crane collapses on Dallas apartment building and parking garage, officials say. Crews are checking the apartment complex for anyone still inside.
The crane tore through four floors of the apartment building in Dallas' downtown city center district, Dallas Police Department spokesman DeMarquis Black said. It wasn't clear how many floors in the garage collapsed.
Evans said the crane was located next door to the building that was crushed, but he wasn't sure if the equipment was being used Sunday. Residents from the building were gathering at a cultural center across the street from the apartment complex. It wasn't clear if anyone was missing, Evans added, though authorities were searching the area with dogs.
Dramatic images from the scene appeared to show cars teetering on the edge of collapsed floors in the garage.A resident at the apartment building, 34-year-old Ryan Lowe, said the collapse sounded like a"large bang." "Most insane thing I've ever experienced," he wrote on Twitter."Massive crane blew over into my complex. Missed my unit by 2 doors."
