A person was killed when a bridge with vehicles on it collapsed onto a railway line.

Horror footage shows how the overpass gave way as a lorry trundled across it on Monday (8 April).

Up to three cars were also on the bridge at the time of the collapse in Vyazma, Russia.

One middle-aged woman, who was in a vehicle, was fatally injured when the bridge caved in.

She died at the scene.

Five other people, including a girl born in 2010, were taken to hospital with injuries.

The lorry driver is believed to have sustained critical injuries.

A gas pipeline was also damaged when the bridge crumbled, as reported on Need To Know.

This reportedly led to 8,000 people having their gas cut off.

The bridge in question, called the Paninsky Bridge, was reportedly built in 1980.

It connects the centre of Vyazma to the town’s industrial zone, as well as other outlying settlements.

The railway line it fell onto is reported to be the main transport corridor between Russia and neighbouring Belarus.

In 2018, authorities announced plans to resurface the bridge to the tune of 9 million RUB (£77,000), according to local media.

Following the collapse, several trains were sent to the scene to remove debris.

The cause of the collapse is still unclear, but locals have reportedly told local media that the bridge “was not in the best condition”.
