A suspension bridge in India carrying hundreds of people has collapsed in Gujarat, western India, killing at least 40 people and leading to a scramble to rescue people stranded in the Machchhu river, near the town of Morbi. Officials said 400 people were on the structure at the time of the collapse. Video footage from the scene showed what remained of the bridge twisted and embedded in the muddy brown water, with scores of people clinging to the wreckage and shouting for help. At least 30 people were critically injured, according to officials. The 230-metre historic bridge was built during British rule in the 19th century. It had been closed for renovation for six months and was reopened for the public last week. Follow the latest updates through the link in our bio #India #Gujarat
