A crane has collapsed across lanes of traffic at the Tappan Zee Bridge in the New York City suburbs. WAMC's Allison Dunne reports.
Video from a news helicopter showed at least one person being taken out of a car and loaded into an ambulance after the crane collapsed around noon Tuesday.
Online images show a piece of a crane sprawled across lanes in both directions on the bridge, which spans Rockland and Westchester counties.
Rockland County Executive Ed Day says a helicopter and marine unit are on the scene. He says five people have been injured, two bridge workers and three drivers, none seriously.
In March, a 90-foot tugboat sank after it hit a construction barge near the bridge site, killing three crew members.
