BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — Two workers were injured when a crane collapsed Tuesday morning off U.S. Highway 27 in western Broward County, just south of the Palm Beach County line.

The crane collapse occurred near the Holey Land Wildlife Management Area.

A bird's eye view showed the crane on its side next to some large utility poles. The boom of the crane and the bucket extended into the murky shallow water.
