One man was reportedly pulled out alive from the debris after the large cranes collapsed onto apartments and shops (pictured) overlooking a canal in Alphen aan den Rijn, South Holland. Emergency services initially believed around 20 others were injured in the dramatic incident, but later confirmed no other people were hurt.
A dog was, however, found dead at the scene. Dramatic footage of the incident shows the towering cranes carrying a piece of tarmac before it begins to swing out of control. The cranes then appear to buckle under the weight of the bridge segment and topple over onto a nearby row of buildings, slamming through them and sending a cloud of dust into the air.
