Giant crane falls off truck at BQE entrance in Brooklyn Heights
"It was a mess"
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A large crane fell off a truck as it was moving up the Atlantic Avenue ramp to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) during the morning rush on Monday, according to Linda DeRosa, president of the Willowtown Association.
Willowtown is a distinctive sub-neighborhood tucked into the southwest section of Brooklyn Heights, ringed on the west by the BQE and the south by the Atlantic Avenue entrance to the BQE.
“It was a mess, probably still a mess,” said DeRosa told the Brooklyn Eagle around 8:30 a.m. Monday.
