ISSAQUAH, WA β Two workers were injured in Issaquah's Wildwood neighborhood Tuesday afternoon after a mobile crane collapsed onto a house, pulling the truck it was attached to completely upright. Eastside Fire & Rescue said no one was inside the home at the time of the collapse. A spokesperson for the fire department told Patch one worker's injury required a trip to the hospital.
