In a horrific accident in Brazil, an acid tanker and 6 vehicles fell into a river when a 533-meter-long bridge collapsed. Two people lost their lives in the accident, and 10 others are missing.



The disaster occurred on the Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira Bridge, which connects the towns of Aguiarnopolis and Estreito in northeastern Brazil, raising concerns about an environmental disaster due to the mixing of sulfuric acid with the water.



Footage taken by local council member Elias Junior shows a pickup truck narrowly escaping the collapsing road. Junior, who went to inspect the cracks in the bridge with a friend, managed to escape as the structure fell. Junior later stated, "If it weren't for my friend, I might not be alive today. People were always complaining about how bad the bridge was."



Among the vehicles that fell into the river were two motorcycles, three trucks, and a car. Authorities confirmed that one of the trucks was carrying sulfuric acid, and rescue operations were halted due to safety concerns.



A 25-year-old woman and a 46-year-old man who were riding motorcycles died in the accident. Eight adults and two children aged 3 and 11 are missing. One person was rescued with a broken leg.



The collapse of the bridge, which was opened in 1961 and reportedly had never been renovated, has brought Brazil's infrastructure issues back into the spotlight. On the same day, 41 people died in a bus accident, and 10 others in a plane crash across the country.



As authorities attempt to assess the damage to the Tocantins River ecosystem, an investigation has been launched regarding the incident. The collapse of the bridge, located on a major route connecting the capital Brasília to the northern city of Belém, has led to severe criticism of infrastructure inspections in the country.
