An investigation has started into why a concrete bridge partially collapsed in eastern Germany.
No one was injured when a section of the Carola Bridge fell into the Elbe River in Dresden, officials from the local fire department have said.
However, there is concern more of the structure could collapse in the coming hours.
The bridge forms part of a main route in the area, and its collapse has led to significant delays for travellers.
The incident has also disrupted the city’s heating system.
Police are treating the collapse as an accident, and there are no signs of foul play, according to German news agency DPA.
