Fire officials say a three-vehicle fiery crash has killed one person on the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Fire Department of New York said six other people suffered minor injuries.
The crash occurred at around 7 a.m. on Wednesday on the Brooklyn-bound side of the East River bridge.
The entire bridge was closed to traffic for about an hour. Major traffic tie-ups continued to spill onto surrounding roads as it was reopened, beginning with the Manhattan-bound lanes.
Bright orange-red flames engulfed the vehicles and black smoke billowed high into the air.
