The bridge, which spans the Luech river on the D906 north of this village in the Cévennes, about twenty kilometers northwest of Alès, has given way. “An arch of the bridge collapsed, dragging a truck with it,” the town hall of this town of around 800 inhabitants confirmed on its website.
The driver of the vehicle, a man of around 40 years old, conscious, was taken care of by the emergency services and evacuated by helicopter.
