A crane toppled on its side Tuesday morning in Manassas.
The crane was in use at a construction site of the new Baldwin Elementary and Baldwin Intermediate school, next to Osbourn High School in Downtown.
No one was hurt when the crane fell over.
“The arm of the crane did damage two walls, and the trusses it was lifting. There was no damage to the steel structure,” said Al Radford, Manassas schools spokeswoman.
Work on the 3-story school began in March. The new school is slated to open in January 2017.
The school will house 1,100 students — 700 elementary school students kindergarten through fourth grade, and 400 intermediate school students in grades five and six. The school will replace the existing Baldwin Elementary School at 9705 Main Street, and will alleviate crowding at nearby Mayfield Intermediate School, said Radford.
