At least 9 killed in Indian bridge collapse

At least nine people were killed after a bridge collapsed in India’s western Gujarat state on July 9, 2025. Built in 1985, the bridge sent vehicles into a river as it collapsed, with an oil tanker coming to a stop just metres away from the edge. The accident has sparked renewed concerns about the country’s infrastructure safety. The incident occurred in Gujarat’s Vadodara district, which has been hit by heavy rain.
