According to media and agency reports, a suspension bridge collapsed in the Indian city of Morbi (Gujarat state).
According to reports, authorities fear at least 30 deaths.
At the time of the accident, there were apparently many people in the building.
This spans the Machchu River.
Indian media showed images of parts of the bridge sticking out of the water and rescue teams rushing to help.
According to the Times of India portal, many people were taken to hospitals, and initially 20 people were injured.
The bridge in the city of Morbi was only recently reopened after renovation work, reports the Times of India.
As a result, the structure collapsed because it could not withstand the weight of people standing on it.
