A crane has toppled over in NSW's central west as a storm sweeps through the region.
A video from a building site on Church Street in Dubbo showed the moment the crane was sent toppling to the pavement as gusts reaching speeds of up to 115km/h swept through the town.
The operator of the machine was uninjured following the accident.
