The article is poorly written. One would think the driver of the tug struck the crossing portion of the "bridge". It's more likely the driver struck the vertical portion, flipped the tug and got crushed by it.

... flipped the tug and got crushed by it.

There's a lot of ballast in those tow tractors. It would take a significant event to flip one.

The WSB-TV News here in Atlanta isn’t much clearer, but my expectation is that the tug hit the jetway and caused an employee to fall from there, either through the opening that connects to the airplane or from the external stairway that allows employees access to the ground from the jetway.
