A crane reportedly crashed on to the main street on Old Airport road near F-Ring road this morning and caused major traffic flow disruption.

Doha News reported that at least one individual died following the crane accident. It is still unclear if the deceased was the crane operator or someone else.

Those injured in the incident were two Egyptians and an Indian. One of the Egyptians is in critical condition and is being treated at the Trauma Intensive Care Unit (TICU) of Hamad General Hospital (HGH).

The victims were rushed to the hospital by an ambulance team of the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC).

The Indian has undergone a surgery, while the other Egyptian also remains admitted at the hospital, said a source.

The crane toppled over between the Ahmed Al Ahmed intersection and the Air Force intersection causing heavy traffic congestion in the area and a partial road closure. The reason for the collapse was not known yesterday.

Photos of the incident have been circulating on social media. The photos show blood splattered on the crane, helmets and safety vests on the ground and debris of the crane crash. A particular photo also shows a figure covered in blue sheet, reportedly the body of the dead individual.

Ambulance and police patrols rushed to the scene following the accident are diverting traffic on to F-Ring road.
