The accident took place at around 3:36 p.m. (local time) when part of the ramp bridge spanning over an expressway collapsed.
Three trucks on the bridge fell off and a car was crushed under the collapsed single-column bridge, closing the two-way traffic of the expressway, Xinhua reported citing the provincial transport and police departments.
