A crane fell off a truck in Warren, crushing a nearby car and killing the 10-year-old girl in the car.
A crane loaded onto a trailer, being pulled by a dump truck, appeared to run a red light at 10 and Ryan in Warren around 10 a.m. Saturday. The truck hit a car and the crane fell, crushing the car. The 10-year-old girl inside was killed and the mother sustained minor injuries, Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said.
Police remain on the scene investigating the accident and directing traffic, Dwyer said.
"It's just another tragedy, this is the second tragedy of the week involving a 10-year-old," Dwyer said. "Now we have this tragedy involving a Saturday morning mother and daughter in a vehicle, doing whatever they had to do as far as shopping and this crane falling and crushing their vehicle. It's just another tragedy, so our hearts and prayers go out to that family as it did to the 10-year-old male that was shot in the chest."

A 10-year-old boy died after he was shot in the chest by a 15-year-old at an apartment complex in Warren.
Warren Mayor James Fouts advised residents to avoid the area and sent his condolences to the family in a statement on Facebook.
"My deepest sympathy goes out to the mother of the 10 year old child as well as others in the family. Maybe we need better laws against this type of vehicle hauling going on period! This is a tragedy that shouldn't have happened."
