VIDEO: Crane falls and monorail crashes into structure in the East Zone of São Paulo

A video circulating on social media shows the moment after the equipment fell and the monorail passed, collapsing the structure. Then the piece falls onto the road. The crane, which was inside a field, also fell onto other parked vehicles (see video above).

The witness stated that he was surprised that the train did not derail after the collision.

After the accident, Lucas said he traveled through the region and, at first, did not identify any injured people.

According to his report, the crane belongs to the company Cortesia Equipamentos and had been parked at the site for some time. He stated, however, that he could not say whether the equipment was in operation at the time of the fall or just parked.

In a statement, the Metro reported that Line 15-Silver operates at reduced speed and has longer stopping times due to the operation of the electrical protection system in the Camilo Haddad station region.

According to the company, the roads on the stretch to São Lucas station were de-energized.

"Maintenance was called in to work on site and restore normality as quickly as possible. Metro regrets the inconvenience", informed the company.
