At least 37 people are known to have died when a motorway bridge collapsed yesterday near the Italian city Genoa.
The central section of the bridge came down around 11am during a thunderstorm while 30 to 35 cars were crossing, sending them plunging almost 200 feet.
The vehicles fell onto a railway and a warehouse below. Some ended up in the Polcevera river.
Rescue workers are searching through the rubble for people trapped in vehicles and buildings. Deputy transport minister Edoardo Rixi said the death toll is likely to rise.
The Morandi bridge, which was being repaired at the time of its collapse, is on the A10 toll motorway that links Genoa airport to the Italian Riviera and the southern coast of France.
The airport is warning on its website today that travel to the airport via the A10 has been disrupted. Several airlines fly direct to Genoa from the UK, including British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair.
