PARK CITY, Utah — A video shared with TownLift shows the aftermath of an excavator that tipped over and crushed several vehicles in the parking lot of the Canyons Village at Park City Mountain. The video was captured by TownLift reader Rob McCue at approximately 1:15 p.m. today.

According to Rob’s wife Morgan McCue, Rob was three cars away from the excavator removing his ski boots while the excavator was being driven up a ramp and onto the back of a trailer. The excavator fell off of the trailer, subsequently crushing at least two vehicles.

No injuries were reported after the incident.

Correction: a previous version of this article stated that the trailer driver was attempting to drive over a snowbank when the accident occurred.
