One crane was on the road, while the other which collapsed was on the opposite side, next to the road. When the cranes put up the grider, the crane next to the road fell on one side as the sand sank and it then fell with the grider.
While the vehicle began falling, Singh allegedly jumped from his cabin to escape but came under the crane's bottom and lost his life to the injuries. It has been reported that the Kanjurmarg police is probing the matter and have registered an accidental death report.
