Local Authorities said at least one person was killed and two others were missing after a busy 200-meter suspension bridge in Ecuador collapsed, tipping several vehicles into a river.

The ministry for risk management also revealed that four trucks, a car and two motorbikes fell into the Magro River some 50 kilometers north of the port of Guayaquil when the viaduct collapsed, as five people got injured.

Footage circulating online showed that at one end of the bridge, the trailer of a truck carrying a load of corn lay onto its side, teetering over the guardrail.

Reports have it that the bridge connects the province of Guayas, where Guayaquil is situated, with other provinces in the north.

Reacting to the sad incident, Guayas governor Marcela Aguinaga said she had received no reports of the bridge being faulty before the accident. According to the risk management ministry, the bridge’s collapse comes in the middle of the rainy season in the Andean nation, where at least 20 people have been killed in flooding and landslides that have damaged 45 bridges.
