On June 24, 2025, the Houzi River Grand Bridge in Guizhou, China, collapsed seconds after authorities shut it down due to rain-triggered structural stress. A truck was caught in a terrifying moment, dangling precariously off the edge just as the bridge gave way.
Officials had closed the bridge moments earlier, but the collapse happened before the truck could safely cross. A dramatic rescue operation followed, successfully saving the driver from what could have been a fatal fall.
This incident underscores the urgent risks posed by aging infrastructure and extreme weather impacts. Authorities have called for thorough inspections and accelerated repairs of vulnerable bridges to prevent similar disasters.
