One person has been killed and six others hospitalised after a crane fell onto an apartment complex in the southern US city of Dallas. The construction crane was brought down during a powerful thunderstorm which hit Texas yesterday.

Authorities say it broke apart and cut through five floors of the complex, which was opposite a building site. The tower’s parking garage was also damaged, and search and rescue efforts are still ongoing. Local media report said the person who died was a woman.

Fire and rescue services spokesperson Jason Evans said while the cause of the collapse was not immediately clear, there was a “strong possibility” that high winds played a role.
