A crane accident in Henderson killed a man and put another man in the hospital in critical condition.
Henderson Coroner Bruce Farmer says crews were repairing a boom crane on the Old Riverside Downs property on Sunset Lane around 2:00 Friday afternoon.
A forklift operator noticed a man lying on the ground.
When he went to help, a part of the crane shifted, broke off, and dropp on both men.
We know it was the forklift operator who died, but the names have not been released.
