A motorist who witnessed the mishap said that he was at the Petaling Jaya Trade Centre when the incident took place opposite from his location. He witnessed the incident from across the highway.
“I was near the PJ Trade Centre. This was opposite the Trade Centre, across the highway. I believe that this is a new development,” he said when contacted by The Star.
“Just moments ago, this crane overturned and is dangling precariously on the ledge of Empire Development. Doesn’t look like anyone was in it, but no idea if anyone got hurt. Yet another example of construction mishaps,” he wrote in his post.
