A tragic bridge collapse in Gujarat’s Savli, Vadodara district, claimed at least 15 lives on July 10, 2025. Survivors recalled a loud “explosion-like” sound just before the 40-year-old concrete structure plunged into the Mahisagar River. Several vehicles and passengers were trapped in the debris. Eyewitnesses described the ground shaking and people screaming as they scrambled for safety. Locals, including fishermen, played a key role in the rescue efforts, pulling victims from the water. Four people are still missing. Residents had previously warned authorities about the bridge's deteriorating condition, citing visible damage and instability. (PC: BBC)
