Bridge Collapse Sends Cars Plunging Into River
One of the most dramatic scenes from the storm occurred in Phu Tho province, where the Phong Chau bridge gave way, sending several vehicles crashing into the river below. Dashcam footage captured the terrifying moment as the bridge collapsed on Monday, leaving 13 people unaccounted for. Rescue teams are working tirelessly to search for survivors.

Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc confirmed that 10 cars and two scooters were among the vehicles that fell into the Red River. So far, three people have been rescued from the water. Part of the 375-meter structure remains standing, and military personnel have been ordered to build a pontoon bridge to restore connectivity across the river as quickly as possible.

Widespread Destruction Across Northern Vietnam
The storm has had a devastating impact across northern Vietnam, with heavy flooding and landslides cutting off power to millions over the weekend. Although Typhoon Yagi has now weakened into a tropical depression, authorities warn that more disruptions are likely as the storm continues its westward path.

00:31The typhoon has caused widespread chaos throughout northern Vietnam.
00:36Flooding and landslides have left millions without power over the weekend.
00:40While Yagi has now weakened into a tropical depression, authorities warn that more disruptions
00:45are expected as it moves westward.

00:54the typhoon has left more than 240 people injured.

01:03Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phuc confirmed the disaster, adding that part of the 375-meter
01:09bridge still stands, and military teams have been ordered to construct a temporary pontoon
01:14bridge across the gap.

01:21to rise.
