Several injured as crane crashes on supermarket in German town

A construction crane crashed on a supermarket in the German town of Bad-Homburg near Frankfurt on Wednesday, causing at least five injuries and possibly one death, local media reported.

The police said at least five people have been injured, while unconfirmed reports that one of the victims might have been dead. The building partially collapsed.

Rescue helicopters, the police, firefighters and medical personnel have arrived at the scene which has been cordoned off, local paper Die Welt said on its website.

The crane was standing next to the Aldi supermarket because of ongoing construction work. The cause of the crash is still unclear.
