Heavy Lift Crane Falls Over on Ave Balboa

By Fermín Estribí for the Panama America - A crane fell over in one of the lanes of Ave Balboa while it was being used to work on an overpass that will be part of the "Cinta Costera" (Costal Strip). According to reports through television TVN 2, the director of maintenance of the Ministry of Public Works (MOP), Jorge Pitalúa, the operator of the crane lost the balance of the load which is why it collapsed and toppled over into the road. No one was injured or killed in the accident, and the only damages were to the crane and the roadway, and traffic was blocked up because of the accident. (Photo Credit: Gonzalo Bocanegra)

I drove right by this. Got a crappy cell phone pic to prove it Traffic was cut down to 2 lanes because of it and in that area... 2 lanes is tough to do.
