Overweight truck crushes bridge, driver on the run
A concrete bridge collapsed yesterday in a town in Jiangsu Province, plunging a truck and a motorcycle into the water. The truck driver managed to kick the door open in water and then saved the woman cyclist from the river.
The accident happened around 2pm yesterday when the truck loaded with stones fell with the bridge, followed by the motorcycle in Houxiang Town of Danyang City.
Another woman cyclist who was also traveling on the bridge fell on the river bank and was slightly injured, according to China News Service.
The truck was lifted from the water last night but the truck driver later disappeared.
The overweight truck, about 10 tons beyond the bridge weight limit, caused the 40-meter-long span to collapse, according to a town official surnamed Hu. Official investigation is still ongoing.
Police said they are looking for the truck driver who left after the accident. A water pipe was also damaged in the collapse, leaving more than 500 homes without water.
