A schoolteacher from Perth is reportedly one of four people seriously injured after a crane fell onto a crowd at a music festival in Japan.
The woman suffered a fractured skull when the crane fell on people attending the Parasite Deja Vu Festival in Osaka on Sunday, Perth Now reported.
The emergency services were called at around 1.35pm local time, reporting that, ‘Camera equipment weighing 240 kilograms had fallen and people were injured,’ Japanese news site Asahi reported.
The crane, which was about 10metres long, hit four female audience members ranging in age from their 20s to 40s, the local police and fire departments said.
The women were all reported to be bleeding from head injuries.
All four remained conscious after the horror crane crash, and their injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatening.

The festival, which was attended by 14,000 revellers, was temporarily suspended after the incident to treat the patients but later resumed.
In shocking vision shared to social media, the crane can seen slamming into the crowd, who were dancing and singing along to the music.
When people realised what was happening, some ran for their lives while others seemed to be pointing out that a serious accident had just happened.
