Officials said the ground gave way under a crane that was driving pilings into the ground as part of a road construction project.
When the ground gave way, the crane shifted, resulting in the piling falling on top of an orange bucket lift.
Two men were in the bucket and fell about 30 feet. Both were rushed to the hospital where one was in critical condition and the other in serious condition.
