🇮🇳 BRIDGE COLLAPSE IN GUJARAT, INDIA — AT LEAST THREE DEAD, MANY TRAPPED

‼️On Wednesday morning, July 9, 2025, a section of the Gambhira Bridge connecting Vadodara and Anand districts in Gujarat collapsed into the Mahisagar River. At least three people were confirmed dead, and several vehicles plunged into the water with many passengers still trapped beneath or within them.

🚨 The collapse occurred during peak morning traffic around 7:30 AM, involving two trucks, two vans, and possibly more vehicles. Emergency teams, including local rescue crews and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), swiftly responded to retrieve survivors and recover the deceased.

⚠️ Authorities suspect structural fatigue as the bridge has been in service since the mid-1980s. An official investigation has been launched, with Gujarat’s Chief Minister dispatching technical experts to determine the exact cause.
