The crane was reportedly installing steel girders when the incident happened Friday.
A crane collapse at an Amazon warehouse in a suburb north of New York City sent two people to a local hospital, officials said Friday.
Emergency responders rushed to the construction site before 1 p.m. in Hawthorne, a hamlet tucked in Westchester County, off Saw Mill River Road.
A preliminary investigation revealed one person had a minor injury and a second suffered "a more serious injury to one leg," Mt. Pleasant Town Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi said.
Chopper footage from the scene showed the large red crane crumpled on the ground, laying next to the warehouse. What caused the crane to come down was still being investigated.
Work at the site is on pause as investigators look into what happened.
