It looks like a scene from a movie. More than 200 cars crashed on a bridge and a shocking image from a drone shows the seriousness of the event. The impact was as spectacular as it was real and took place in China.
The multiple collision occurred after 7:30 this Wednesday (6:30 yesterday Argentine time) on the bridge of Zhengxin Huanghewhich crosses the Yellow River and is 9.1 kilometers long.
At the time of the accident there was a thick fog which limited visibility. As a result of the impact, at least one person was killed, according to the authorities. Additionally, dozens of people were injured and taken to nearby hospitals.
Up to two hours after the crash, at least 11 people who had been trapped in their vehicles had been rescued, the fire department of Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, said.
Traffic on the bridge was blocked in both directions for several hours.
