The incident occurred Thursday during rush hour in Fort Lauderdale.

The worker was working on a high-rise building and was trying to adjust the height of the crane when part of it snapped.

The crane crashed with one worker on the bridge.

The worker died and two others were injured when parts of the crane collided with their car on the bridge.

“It hit the front of my car and it was like slow motion,” said Mark Selezin, whose car was hit by the crane. “Then I saw the front of my car disappear. It just kind of got sliced. Then that piece of metal bounced through the air and went to the right and landed on top of another car. All the airbags deployed and I looked at myself. I couldn’t believe I was still alive.”

The Florida Department of Transportation and Fort Lauderdale Police are investigating the incident.
