A slab of the Gambhira bridge in Gujarat collapsed, leading to the death of nine people and rescuing nine others without critical injuries.
The collapse caused five vehicles to fall into the Mahisagar river, including trucks, vans, and an autorickshaw.
Three individuals on a two-wheeler that fell into the river managed to swim to safety.
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel ordered a probe into the bridge collapse, with rescue operations carried out by local teams, the NDRF, and private engineers specializing in bridge construction.
