A highway collapse kills 19 people in China. A section of the highway connecting Meizhou City and Dapu City in Guangdong Province collapsed this morning.
Videos circulating on social media show wrecked cars and a raging fire that had engulfed a significant portion of the road segment.
Meanwhile, the emergency forces and the police were at the scene after receiving the first information.
Local media reports that 19 people lost their lives as a result of the tragedy that occurred, about 30 others were injured receiving medical services and about 18 cars were stranded.
The Guangdong provincial government sent a rescue team of about 500 personnel.
It seems that there is no end to the incidents in southern China as only a few days ago it faced massive flooding due to torrential rains.
Guangdong province, with a population of about 127 million, has been dealing with the consequences of torrential rains, which have forced more than 110,000 people to relocate.
