|Updated:

NEW YORK—A giant construction crane toppled off the new Tappan Zee Bridge and collapsed across the busy span it is replacing July 19, halting traffic in the afternoon.

No cars were hit by the crane’s arm as it came down around noon, but Rockland County Executive Ed Day wrote on Twitter that three people suffered minor injuries when vehicles swerved and stopped to avoid the wreckage.
