Officials suspect a tipper lorry, which was allegedly overloaded with 102 tonnes of stone, was to blame but investigations are ongoing.

The camera could be seen shaking before the footage cuts out.

It happened on the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge, near Tuguegarao, north of Manila, in the Philippines.

A process to retrofit the 990m-long causeway was completed on 1 February.

Local media say 1.22b PHP (£16.6m) has been spent on it since construction began in November 2014.

The Cagayan River is still traversable thanks to an old bridge.

But only light vehicles are currently able to cross, as reported by Need To Know.
