Officials said the collapse of the bridge caused traffic over the busy fishing port and damaged three fishing boats and two vehicles, including the tanker. On late Monday, typhoon Mitag, packing maximum winds of 162 kph (100 mph), swept past northeastern Taiwan, injuring 12 people and cutting power to more than 66,000 homes, with more than 150 flights canceled.
