Crane Collapse Damages at Least Two Homes in River Vale
Fire crews evacuated residents, rescued a cat and used heavy wreckers and an additional crane to stabilize the overturned truck.
- On Thursday, a tree removal crane toppled onto two homes on Sunnyhill Terrace in River Vale, New Jersey, after the truck's stabilizing leg struck a hidden underground concrete seepage tank.
- Lt. Vasili Karalewich of the River Vale Fire Department said, "One of the outriggers landed on that tank underground that they could not see, caused the crane to tip over and the boom to crash onto the home."
- Homeowner Dina DeMayo, who hired the crew to remove a tree, escaped unharmed when the crane split her garage; she confirmed the company is handling cleanup and repairs.
- Firefighters secured the area, evacuated homes, and rescued a cat while using cutting torches to remove the crane boom; no injuries occurred despite significant damage to both properties.
- This incident follows a separate crane collapse on Wednesday, September 16, on Interstate 287 in Morris County, where a truck struck a bridge support beam and injured two people.
