(WSB Radio) -- An incredible scene in Kennesaw: a crane, with a 180-foot arm collapsed Tuesday, slicing a two-story home in half.

The accident happened while a tree-cutting service was removing a dead oak tree from the back yard of the home on Revere Walk, in the Legacy Park subdivision.

Homeowner Beverly Wolfe said the crane was being used to lift parts of the tree up and over the house, because of the difficulty in getting machinery into her backyard.

She was eating dinner around 6:30 p.m. when the arm of the crane crashed through her upstairs bedroom and then her living room.

The house was condemned, and a larger crane will be brought in today to lift the fallen arm.

To make matters worse, Wolfe says the tree-cutting service said it had completed two-thirds of the job and wants to be paid.
