An industrial crane toppled this morning in the 900 block of Red River Street.
No one was hurt when the crane fell, police said. Red River Street between 9th and 10th was shut for about two hours but reopened shortly after 11 a.m.
The site under construction is near the Sheraton Hotel and is a four-story apartment building.
Update: (10:40am) The Austin American Statesman has reported that the crane is not one of the giant cranes used to build high rises, but a smaller piece of equipment used to stablize them. The equipment fell on to the wooden frame of the building. The incident will likely be investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
