MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Two people were killed and four injured -- one seriously -- in a crane accident in downtown Miami, Florida, Tuesday, said Miami Fire Rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll.

Initial reports indicate that "a large metal section of the crane fell to the ground, striking a two-story house," the Miami Police Department said in a statement.

The dead were identified by police as Terrance Hennessy, 59, and Jeremy Thornsbury, 21.

Carroll said the damaged house, which construction workers were using for storage, was used in the movie, "There's Something About Mary."

The incident comes 10 days after a crane collapse in New York killed seven, injured 24 and destroyed a five-story townhouse in Manhattan. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend
