a huge bridge has collapsed close to the northern Italian city of Genoa, police say.
The bridge, a component of the A10 motorway, is about ONE HUNDRED metres tall, Italian media say – and there are unconfirmed stories that automobiles can have been involved.
Photographs from the scene display large sections of rubble at the flooring beneath the center of the bridge.
One symbol shows a truck perched at the finish of the surviving bridge section right away sooner than the drop.
