"Family and friends continue to mourn the unexpected loss of 29-year-old Kiersten Symone Smith after a tragic crane accident in Dallas over the weekend claimed her life. The woman was the sole victim of a crane collapse into an apartment building on Sunday afternoon that injured five other occupants as it sliced into a portion of the structure in the midst of a severe thunderstorm warning. The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed on Monday that Smith’s body was discovered inside the Elan City Lights apartment building following the crane’s collapse through four floors, according to NBC News."
