No one was injured after a crane tipped over at a construction site north of Manhattan. This picture was provided to us by Brad Hartenstein. It happened Thursday afternoon where a new building is being constructed for the Riley County Public Works Department.From what we've been told, the crane tipped as it was attempting to set a floor panel on the building site. A weight imbalance apparently caused the crane to tip over. No one was hurt. The new building, expected to be completed next spring, is at the corner of Highway 24 and Marlatt Avenue. When completed, the building will be used for vehicle and equipment maintenance for the Riley County Public Works Department. .
