Bridge collapses as vehicles cross in Brazil’s Amazon (Ponte desaba no Amazonas)
At least three people have been confirmed dead, with as many as 15 missing after a bridge collapsed as some vehicles were travelling across it in the northern Brazilian state of Amazonas, firefighters and local media said.
The Amazonas Fire Department said on Wednesday it was looking for more than a dozen people after the concrete bridge on the BR-319 highway in Careiro, a town about 100km (62 miles) south of the provincial capital Manaus, collapsed.
Some vehicles were crossing the bridge at the time it gave way, and 14 people were injured, officials added. Photos showed the central section of the bridge lying in dark brown water with some vehicles, including a white truck, submerged in the river.
Local media outlet G1 quoted multiple witnesses as saying that the bridge had developed a crack, which was causing a traffic jam before the collapse.

Ponte desaba no Amazonas e deixa mortos e desaparecidos.
A Ponte Curuçá, localizada no km 25 da BR-319, no Amazonas, desabou, na manhã desta quarta-feira (28), vitimando ao menos três pessoas e deixando outras 14 feridas, de acordo com a Polícia Militar. A estrutura cedeu por volta das 8h, no momento que os veículos faziam a travessia; alguns deles caíram no rio que fica abaixo da construção.
Segundo informações de moradores e da imprensa local, a rodovia – que é parte de uma importante ligação viária de Manaus com o restante do país – já apresentava rachaduras e sinais de deterioração. Após o acidente, a Polícia Rodoviária Federal (PRF) interditou o trecho, de responsabilidade do governo federal através do Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura e Transporte (Dnit).
A ponte fica localizada no município de Careiro da Várzea, parte da região metropolitana de Manaus, e já tinha circulação limitada a apenas veículos leves por más condições em sua estrutura. O governo do Amazonas mobilizou um comitê para atender os envolvidos no incidente e alinhar ações de reparo.
