Bridge Falls In Taiwan Bay, 10 Injured In Boats Below

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) – A towering bridge over a bay in eastern Taiwan has collapsed sending an oil tanker truck falling onto boats in the water below.  A disaster relief official said the collapse Tuesday set off a fire and at least 10 people have been hurt.  The bridge collapsed about 9:30 a.m. in Nanfangao, a tiny but often-crowded Pacific coast fishing village.  The weather at the time of the collapse was sunny, hours after a typhoon swept across parts of the island.  A National Fire Agency spokesperson said the tanker’s fall smashed three boats.  Six of the 10 people hurt were sent to a hospital with major injuries and the other four had minor injuries.
