A crane has collapsed at a construction site on Conveyor Lane off Inwood Road in Dallas.

Two people were injured during the incident at the city-owned Old Hampton Pump Station.

Both were transported to hospitals but their conditions were not known.

The incident reportedly happened when workers were trying to replace a rain water pump as part of the Trinity River revitalization project.

The pump, weighing 16,000 pounds, (note: that is heavy, OP) lifted the crane off its wheels, flipping it backwards and onto a small building.

The pump fell itself fell to the ground, crushing several vehicles.

OSHA will reportedly investigate the incident.

No further details were immediately available.
