Russia's Anti-Terrorism Committee added that the truck driver who hit the Kerch Bridge, causing a massive explosion and fire, is a resident of Russia's Krasnodar Krai, Anadolu Agency reported.
The early morning incident left traffic suspended and brought bus and train services to a halt.
The Kerch Bridge -- a pair of parallel bridges, a road and a railroad -- is a key supply route for Russia which was built after Crimea's annexation in 2014.
Footage and images, widely shared on social media, show that a road section collapsed and train carriages were burning on the bridge, which is the longest in Europe.
The Russian committee also said the bridge was damaged by "a truck bombing."
