The three occupants of a crane truck were injured on Thursday night when part of a pedestrian bridge over the Via Cintura in Palma collapsed and fell onto the truck's cabin.

The incident occurred just after 11pm; it was right by IKEA. The truck was from a company carrying out road maintenance work.

It would appear that the three workers hadn't realised that the truck's boom was raised. This hit the bridge, causing it to collapse.
