He said the crane operator seemed to underestimate what the machine could handle.The crane operator was trying to carry the tree trunk over the homes to the street when the boom tipped over, sending the truck into utility wires.Emergency crews with the fire department evacuated residents on both sides of the crane and three houses directly behind it.
“The crane was in the crutch of the tree, so we had to lift that and control the descent of the truck so everything could work in unison,” said Nick Muzzy with Tuminos Towing company.Muzzy said that after the truck was leveled, the engine was turned on so the boom could operate and then be pulled in.A new crane was later brought in and the tree was finally removed.
