About ten years old at the time of its destruction in 1996, the bridge collapsed and killed a large number of Muggles who were driving on the bridge at the time. In the summer of 1996, Lord Voldemort ordered Cornelius Fudge to step aside from his position as Minister for Magic, with the threat of a mass Muggle killing if he did not do so. Fudge refused to step down, and thus Voldemort ordered Death Eaters to cause both the Brockdale Bridge and the Millennium Bridge to collapse. Fudge was replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour soon after.
