Twelve vehicles plunged into a river after a bridge collapsed with at least 13 people still missing.

The horror moment was captured on another motorist’s dashcam travelling behind.

The footage shows how a lorry plunged into the void and a biker saved himself by the skin of his teeth.

Ten cars and two motorbikes ended up in the water.

Four people had been rescued.

The hunt for the other road users is continuing.

One of the survivors recalled hearing a loud noise and plunging into the river with his motorbike before he could react.

Phan Truong Son told how he fell to the bottom of the river and used all his strength to swim to the surface.

The 50-year-old managed to grab hold of a banana tree and was rescued by people on a nearby boat.

He was in a nearby hospital with soft tissue injuries, along with two other survivors.

The horror unfolded this (9 Sept) morning between Lâm Thao and Tam Nông districts, northwest of Hanoi, Vietnam.

The military was conducting search and rescue operations in the swollen river, as reported by Need To Know.

It’s not clear how many people are missing, as it’s unknown how many people were in each vehicle.

The Phong Châu Bridge collapsed during adverse weather due to Typhoon Yagi, which had claimed at least 59 lives at the time of reporting.

The 375-metre-long bridge was inaugurated in July 1995 and is believed to have been deteriorating.
