(35 minutes later) | |
Rescue workers are searching for up to 12 unaccounted for people after a crane collapsed onto a nearby structure in Tel Aviv, Israel. | |
Israeli Defence Force search and rescue teams were called on Monday to a four-storey car park under construction in the Ramat Hachayal district to help extract people trapped in the building. | |
Some of those trapped are believed to have made contact with rescue workers. | |
Police said eighteen people were admitted to hospital, one with serious injuries, local television reported. | |
Officials are still trying to determine the cause of the collapse but a fire brigade spokesman said part of the three-storey structure had initially collapsed, causing a crane to fall and bring down more of the partially-completed parking building. | |
The neighbourhood is home to many hi-tech businesses, restaurants and a hospital. | |
