Bridge collapses

Two trucks plunged off a bridge that collapsed Saturday morning in northeast China's Qiqihar, the local government said.

The 60-meter-long bridge broke in the middle, sending the two trucks careering into the frozen river in Fuyu County at about 9:10 a.m..

One person sustained injuries and was rushed to hospital. There were no fatalities, according to a statement from the county government.

The trucks burst into flames, and fire fighters were able to extinguish the fire.

An investigation has been launched, the statement added.
