Lorry Driver Miraculously Survives After Bridge Collapses Beneath Truck in India

A video has gained attention online after capturing the moment a lorry driver narrowly escaped injury when a bridge suddenly collapsed beneath his vehicle.

The incident reportedly occurred on June 23 along India’s National Highway 5, between Reckong Peo and Tapri.

CCTV footage from the scene showed the driver waiting for another vehicle to cross the bridge before proceeding. Moments later, as the lorry began crossing, the structure gave way and collapsed.

The 190-foot-long bridge was seen folding and crashing down, taking the truck with it.

Remarkably, the driver survived the incident despite the dramatic collapse.

The footage also showed a car waiting on the opposite side of the bridge. The vehicle was not affected by the collapse, as it had not yet entered the structure when it gave way.

The video has since circulated widely on social media, with many viewers expressing relief that the driver survived the frightening incident.
