Excavator collapses in front of Auburn City Hall

Auburn police told The Citizen that the driver of the vehicle was attempting to load it into a truck bed when it fell over.

The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital, police said. The excavator was being used in the $2.8 million renovation of the barn and carriage house at the nearby Seward House Museum.

While the excavator was being lifted, traffic on South Street was temporarily blocked.
