A bridge collapse has left at least 32 people dead and several injured in Gujarat, India.
Gatekeepers News reports that hundreds have been plunged into River Macchu in Morbi town as the bridge gave way.
Local footage shows people hanging off the partly-submerged suspension bridge as about 400 people were on the structure at the time.
This incident occurs just days after the bridge was reopened following repairs.
The 230-metre-long (754 feet) colonial-era bridge was built during British rule of India in the 19th Century.
Videos show onlookers attempting to rescue those trapped in the water and people climbing up netted wire remains of the bridge to escape the water.
Emergency responders from neighbouring districts have been sent to the scene to help with rescue efforts.
Narendra Modi, Indian Prime Minister who is in his home state of Gujarat on a three-day visit, said he was “deeply saddened by the tragedy” and announced compensation for the injured, as well as the next of kin of those who have died.
