BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) - No injuries were reported when a construction vehicle equipped with a concrete extension boom overturned in Bartlesville.

Police say a crane overturned shortly before noon Monday at a downtown intersection, slightly damaging a nearby building.

Authorities say the driver of the crane had completed work on a construction job in the area when he tried to move the truck with the boom still extended. That caused the truck to tip over, causing severe damage to the vehicle.



The intersection was expected to be closed for the remainder of the day while crews work to turn the truck onto its wheels and clean up the area.
