Officials say four dock workers at the Port of Galveston have been hurt when a ship's crane broke while unloading a 60-ton section of a wind tower.
The Galveston County Daily News reports the workers suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening Wednesday.
The Coast Guard said one worker was transported to a hospital. Further details weren't immediately released on the victims.
Port director Mike Mierzwa said the Asia Zircon II from Singapore had a malfunction with one of its cranes located on the ship.
U.S. safety authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
Further details weren't immediately available. A message left with the Port of Galveston wasn't immediately returned Thursday.
