Bridge collapses in China's Hunan (1/3)

Photo taken on May 13, 2012 shows the accident site after a bridge collapsed in Pingjiang County, central China's Hunan Province. The bridge, which connects two townships of Meixianqiao and Yuping in Pingjiang county, collapsed at around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday. It is unknown how many people were injured or even killed in the collapse but witnesses said that there were people falling into water under the bridge, according to rescuers. The county was battered by torrential rains on Saturday, which might have something to do with the collapse, officials said. Saturday's strong rainfall toppled over 3,500 homes and forced more than 28,880 people to evacuate in the county. (Xinhua/Bai Yu)
