An All Terrain crane overturned this morning, on a road near Liverpool, UK, completely blocking the A-5080 road close to junction 5 of the M-62 motorway.
It looks as though the three axle crane was coming from the M-62 and may have been looking to take a left hand turn down a side road towards Huyton, when it flipped. Quite how it managed to do so is hard to say, but the rear wheels look as though they are in crab steer configuration which may have caused a stability issue at road speeds.
The road is closed and as yet we do not have information on the crane operator, hopefully he is unhurt. We will update if and when we learn more. 
The overturned crane leaked oil and diesel onto the road
