Bridge near India-China border collapses

A bailey bridge in the district of Uttarakhand, nearly 50 km from the Sino-India border, collapsed when a truck carrying a JCB machine was crossing it, an official said on Tuesday.

The truck driver and the JCB machine operator were injured as the 40-feet-long bridge, built in 2009, crashed on Monday.

Around 15 border villages of Johar Valley have been cut off. Legal action will be taken against the truck driver, the official said.
