Emergency crews in South Florida raced to the scene of a crane collapse that injured several people on Monday morning, according to Miami police.

Video and images from the scene show what appeared to be a crane that fell across a white vehicle. Images showed that vehicle on fire, with thick black smoke billowing into the air.

"Right now, four patients were transported after a complex rescue operation," City of Miami Fire-Rescue Lt. Pete Sanchez said in a statement to CBS News Miami.

A news conference is set to be held later on Monday morning to provide updates.
