They changed the video, cut the endless looking at the ground. From the skid mark, could have been a blowout.

Good to see the 'fire brigade' keeping the wrecked crane cooled down.

So the crane ran out of puff going up the hill.

Looks like it was taken from a phone clutched in the hand of a pedestrian mowed down by the truck.
