Tree fellers' crane crashed through roof of house after falling into sinkhole caused by septic tank

A crane crashed through the roof of a home in Merrimack, New Hampshire, on Thursday where workers were cutting trees. The owner of the house said she hired Healey Tree Works to cut down 20 trees on her property.



The crew was cutting down the last tree when the crane hit a septic tank in the backyard, which opened a sinkhole. The crane toppled over and smashed into the roof of the home, where two people were inside.





The people inside weren't hurt, but a worker was left dangling from the tree. When the operator tried to move the crane, the climber was injured when it hit his foot.

The injured climber was taken to a nearby hospital. The homeowner said she has owned the house for 28 years but never knew about the second septic system that caused the problem.
