2 Workers Die When Crane Topples on Dock in Southeast Texas

Authorities say two workers were killed and another hurt when a crane fell on a marine dock in Southeast Texas.

Jaree Fortin, a spokeswoman for the city of Galveston, said investigators were trying to determine the reason the crane toppled over at Pelican Island on Wednesday morning. Fortin said foul play was not suspected.

The two were already dead when emergency responders arrived at the scene.

Authorities have not released the names or other details about the victims.
