HOUSTON -- Another crane accident had rush hour drivers doing double takes on Highway 59 near Kingwood Drive.
The crane toppled over and landed on the back of a flatbed truck not far from the freeway.
No one was hurt, according to the Houston Fire Department.
The crane was reportedly removing a Kingwood pylon sign sitting in the middle of a pond. The pond was partially drained to give access for the crane.
The sign has been there since the 1970s.
Investigators will be sent to the site to determine the cause.
