Officials say 4 people were hospitalized after a crane collapsed at a Miami construction site

Four people were hospitalized after the collapse, and officials said the crane struck vehicles, sparked a fire and triggered a complex rescue operation.

  • On Monday, Sept 14, 2026, a construction crane collapsed in Miami's Brickell neighborhood, striking vehicles and causing a fire. Miami Fire Rescue transported four people to hospitals following a complex rescue operation.
  • Police closed Brickell Bay Drive between Southeast 12th Street and Southeast 13th Street to secure the area. Authorities urged drivers to use alternate routes and expect delays.
  • Video from the scene showed the fallen crane across the roadway with at least three cars damaged and one vehicle engulfed in flames. Pete Sanchez of Miami Fire-Rescue confirmed the rescue operation.
  • Officials have not released the conditions of the hospitalized victims or identified the cause of the collapse. The Miami Police Department is investigating the incident.
  • The collapse marks the latest in a series of crane-related incidents in Brickell, which is experiencing a major construction boom. An earlier August collapse in the neighborhood sent crane debris onto a nearby high-rise pool deck.
