A bridge collapsed in the Indian state of Gujarat, in the west of the country, causing hundreds of people to fall into a river.

Dozens of confirmed dead so far.

The BBC reports. 



Local TV footage showed people hanging from the partially submerged suspension bridge in the Macchu River, in the city of Morbi, with the services involved in rescue operations.

At the time of the collapse, there were up to 400 people on the bridge and the structure was reopened just a few days ago after repairs.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in Gujarat (his native state) for a three-day visit, said he was "deeply saddened by the tragedy".

According to the Daily Mail, meanwhile, the death toll in the collapse of the bridge in the Indian state of Gujarat rises to at least 60 dead.

Images showing the moment of the collapse of the structure have been released, with people falling into the water and dozens trying to save themselves by clinging to the bridge.
