Police say one person was killed and another injured in a crane accident in Oklahoma City.

The accident happened Tuesday night at the Chesapeake Energy Corp. campus in the northwest part of the city, where there has been construction.

Oklahoma City police Lt. Don Holland says authorities are still investigating and could not immediately say what happened in the accident.

Holland says the worker who was taken to a hospital did not have life-threatening injures.

A spokesman for Chesapeake says the company didn't have any details because it doesn't supervise the construction.

Police say the crane belongs to Rent-a-Crane and it was a Silvercliff Construction site.
