At least nine people were killed and five others injured when part of the Gambhira Bridge collapsed in India’s western Gujarat state on Wednesday morning, sending vehicles plunging into the Mahisagar River.

The bridge, built in 1985 in Vadodara district, gave way unexpectedly, according to state officials. Rescue teams continue to search the river as recovery efforts remain ongoing, according to Al Jazeera.

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the tragedy “deeply saddening” and offered condolences to the victims’ families. Poor infrastructure safety has long troubled India, with a 2022 bridge collapse in Gujarat killing over 130 people.
