Extensive construction works on one of the leading five-star hotels in Dubrovnik, Hotel Excelsior, are continuing but not without mishaps. Yesterday a crane carrying a heavy load of glass from one side of the street to the other directly in front of the hotel toppled over.
It is still unclear how the accident occurred, however eye witnesses commented that it seemed that the load was just too heavy and the crane toppled over. Fortunately there were no serious injuries, although one person was slightly injured and required medical assistance.
