Monkey Men Tree Removal was in the process of removing branches near homes when the crane fell.

The fiance of the operator said the pavement gave way, and that's why the crane toppled, hitting the Lake Shore Drive home and landing on the back deck.

Jake Navarro, of National Grid, said two transformers were damaged during the incident and 16 customers were left without power.

Navarro said the company is hoping to have power restored by 6 p.m.

Emergency officials said no injuries were reported.

Officials from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are investigating the incident.
