A shocking sight in Alabama when a 100-foot construction crane used for tree cutting cuts right through an elderly woman’s home Friday (11/14).

According to authorities, 82-year-old Jean Loudon was home in Center Point, Alabama working on her cable television box when the accident happened. She says she was standing up when the roof of her home collapsed knocking her off her feet.

Loudon was standing right in the area where the crane hit, luckily she was not seriously injured and managed to crawl out from the rubble.

Neighbors said the crash into the home could be heard throughout the neighborhood.
