Watch 3 Cars Get Turned Into Pancakes When Bridge Collapses On Them

At least three cars were buried under the wreckage of an overpass that collapsed Thursday evening in Jiangsu province in eastern China, BJnews.com.cn reports.



The incident occurred around 18:10 local time in the city of Wuxi. The footage shows how the long passage of the viaduct falls down at a time when drivers returning home under a multi-ton structure pass by. Judging by the record, at least three cars were buried under the debris, and rescuers have not yet been able to reach them. A powerful crane was sent to the place, with the help of which firefighters will try to raise the span.



The culprit of the accident was a semi-truck driver which transported 187 tons of unknown cargo - this is many times higher than the permissible load. Despite the ban, he drove to the bridge but did not reach the opposite side. A man escaped from the crash site.
