Three individuals sustained injuries when a glass panel fell from a crane onto them at a park located on the border between New South Wales and Victoria in Albury.

The incident took place around noon today, prompting a swift response from emergency personnel who arrived at the scene.

SafeWork NSW has initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the event, with one man in his twenties reported to be in critical condition at Albury Hospital.

According to a spokesperson from NSW Ambulance, paramedics were dispatched to Glen Park in the northern suburb of Glenroy following reports of the fallen panel at the worksite.

It is understood that two sets of heavy glass panels were being relocated from a shipping container using a crane when the accident occurred.

All three injured men were transported to Albury Hospital. One man in his twenties suffered severe injuries to his head, chest, and leg, placing him in critical condition. Another man, also in his twenties, sustained injuries to his leg and back but is currently in serious yet stable condition.

The third individual, whose age has not been disclosed, experienced minor injuries.
