My bet is that it was an Allied fighter-bomber. It is impossible that Luftwaffe was ordered to bomb the bridge at this time of the day, or even know that the bridge was Allied-held.

AFAIK all German attacks were launched on ships off the beachhead or the beach themselves. There was very few activities in the morning.

On the other hand, Allied fighter-bombers attacked roads and bridges. Out of 14000 planes in the air, one pilot may get lost and bombed the wrong one.
