Suspension bridge breaks, dozens of
people fall into flood water
VietNamNet Bridge - When the flow of
people was moving through a suspension bridge in Son La, suddenly the cable
broke, the bridge was tilted, more than 20 people and their vehicles were
knocked down into the water.
Many motorcycles are stuck under the
bridge.
The incident was reported at 6am on June 11 on the
suspension bridge spanning the stream of Tac in Phu Tuong commune, Phu Yen
district of Son La province.
Hearing cries and shouts, local people quickly jumped
into the stream to pick up victims and take them to the Phu Yen hospital.
Thirteen people were injured due to being hit in the head by springboards,
including three who were seriously injured. Eleven motorcycles and two bikes
were completely damaged.
The bridge is over 83 m long, with bamboo floor. The
bridge was undergoing repair when the accident occurred. The bridge was not
yet opened for traffic, but due to heavy rains, causing floods in the stream,
many people still used it, making the overload.
The local government is calculating losses caused by
the incident to help victims.
