a one hundred meter stretch of it caved in bringing many cars forty five meters down with it. that the annoyer. as far as we know around thirty cars and trucks were driving on the part of the bridge when it fell through and that when that didn't get a little bit. several hundred emergency personnel are on the scene they're being supported by specialized mountain rescue teams and military forces there are conflicting reports about the number of deaths a number of people have also been critically injured the marandi bridge built in the one nine hundred sixty s. has been subject to a series of repairs over the years critics say possible structural weaknesses might have been to blame a landslide near one of the bridges supports caused by heavy rains might have been the trigger the civil protection agency says a structural analysis of the remainder of the bridge is now being carried out
