Locals were preparing for work when they felt the ground 'shake' this morning (Tues) - as a crane crashed into a building site.<br /><br />A person is in hospital following the incident in Leith, Edinburgh, and a cordon remains in place.<br /><br />Michael Lakomy, 33, lives nearby and says he was getting ready for his brewery job when he felt the "vibration".<br /><br />He said: "I was in my living room getting ready to leave for the day. <br /><br />"I heard a very elongated sound, like a lorry offloading heavy material.<br /><br />"But it just kept going and kept going. <br /><br />"I could tell something was not right, and then I heard the smash. The ground was shaking and I felt the vibration.<br /><br />"All the workers were running around about checking if everyone was okay. <br /><br />"The atmosphere afterwards was quite serious but not frantic.<br /><br />"I didn't see any stretchers - it was precautionary, like they were clearing the scene. <br /><br />"[When I left for work] the crane was still resting on the roof. The crane looked bent from the pressure of something."<br /><br />Police Scotland said: "Emergencies [sic] services are in attendance at Steads Place in Edinburgh after a crane collapsed at a building site. <br /><br />"There are road closures in place at Leith Walk and Pilrig Street. Motorists and pedestrians are asked to avoid the area."<br /><br />The Scottish Ambulance Service told MailOnline: 'We received a call at 0929 hours today to attend an incident in Leith, Edinburgh. <br /><br />'We dispatched two ambulances and our special operations team (SORT) to the scene and transported one patient to New Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.'
