At 23: 30 on the 18th, the reporter rushed to the scene of the incident, and the bridge body of the collapsed part of the footbridge was still pressed at the end of the red truck. According to a taxi driver who was passing by at that time, two large trucks passed by the road section at the time of the incident, and the cargo was of arched steel frame structure, and the cargo height was significantly higher than the height limit of the overpass. "The first big truck made a loud noise when it passed the overpass. I didn’t expect the second car to hit it directly. At that time, the speed was not fast."
Witnesses at the scene told reporters that after the front part of the big truck passed through the overpass, the super-high part of the cargo was pushed to the overpass, and the bridge collapsed and pressed the vehicle after violent vibration.
Witnesses recalled that two cars just passed by at that time, but fortunately, the vehicles directly passed through the gap between the bridge and the truck, causing only a slight rub.

Afterwards, the traffic police implemented bayonet diversion measures on the surrounding road sections. The reporter learned from the traffic police at the scene that in order to resume traffic as soon as possible, the scene is being actively repaired and several engineering repair vehicles have arrived at the scene. "But the difficulty is that there is a viaduct above the pedestrian overpass, so the crane can’t lift the collapsed overpass smoothly, and it is difficult to repair it."
After a night of accident treatment, the bridge was finally hit and transported away from the scene by a trailer. As of 6: 50 on the 19th, the scene of the accident was cleared and traffic resumed. (End)
