NEW YORK CITY-A crane collapsed just after 8:00 a.m. at a construction site near 91st Street and First Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, according to witnesses and officials. One person has died from the incident, according to local news reports.

The collapse occurred two months after a tower crane collapsed on 51st Street between Second and First avenues, killing seven people. The New York Fire Department said that it has pulled people from the wreckage, but their conditions were not immediately known.

According to published reports, the building under construction at the site is the Azure, a 245,000-sf building being constructed at 333 East 91st St. between First and Second avenues by the DeMatteis Organizations and the Mattone Group.
