One person has been injured in a crane accident in the harbor of Varberg, local media reports.

It was during the loading of timber that the crane's cabin, for unclear reasons, came loose and fell to the ground.

The police state on their website that one person has been injured and taken to hospital, but was "awake and able to speak" after the accident.

It's a crane cabin, which sits on an arm, that has come loose from its fastening and gone downhill. We estimate a height of 2.5 to three meters, says Mats Ryberg, duty officer at the rescue service, to SVT News Halland.
