Update 2: Crane topples over in Birkirkara school

A crane driver was slightly injured when a crane toppled over at Birkirkara Ta' Paris secondary school this morning. The accident happened at about 9.35am. The injured man, who had been in a 'cage' suspended from the jib, was rescued by colleagues and taken to hospital for treatment. He has since been released. The crane was lifting material for a fence around a football ground at the boys' secondary school. Part of the crane came to rest on the school building. Schoolchildren were not injured and classes continued as usual. In a statement this evening, the Government said that at no point were students or school personnel in any danger as this area was out of bounds throughout the day.
