ST. PETERSBURG, February 27 (RIA Novosti) - A third man has been hospitalized following the collapse of a construction crane in St. Petersburg, which left three others dead, emergencies officials said.
The 18-year-old young man sustained bruises and a concussion.
A construction crane collapsed onto a nearby apartment bloc in the north of Russia's second city Tuesday morning, killing a 65-year-old woman, a 14-month-old child, and an unidentified man.
Two other men were hospitalized earlier. Their condition has not been reported so far, officials said.
