A crane collapsed onto a nearby building during metro construction work in Surat, Gujarat on Thursday, authorities reported. Fortunately, no casualties have been noted so far.

Divisional Fire Officer Hardik Patel confirmed the incident, explaining that the crane was in the process of erecting an object when a portion of it fell onto the building. 'The bungalow it struck is uninhabited and had already been sold, so no lives were at risk,' Patel remarked.
