Six crew members, including their captain, were detained by maritime
police on Sunday after their vessel hit a 1,600-meter-long bridge causing
part of it to collapse in southern Guangdong Province.

June 18 - Six crew members, including their captain, were detained by
maritime police on Sunday after their vessel hit a 1,600-meter-long
bridge causing part of it to collapse in southern Guangdong Province.
Nine people believed to be on the bridge at the time are missing.
Shi Guide, captain of the "Nanguiji 035", and five sailors including
Huang Yuyou, have been detained, said the Guangdong Maritime Affairs
Bureau. The barge, loaded with sand, sailed out the main navigation
channel of the Xijiang River and hit the bridge on Friday. About 200
meters of the bridge collapsed.
The bridge connects Jiujiang Township in Nanhai district of Foshan to
neighbouring Heshan city.
Sections of the collapsed bridge fell onto the bow of the boat, partially
submerging it. All 10 crew members were rescued, and two were treated in
hospital for bruises and released.
Video from traffic monitors shows four vehicles carrying seven people,
and two bridge workers were on the bridge when it collapsed. Divers and
search and rescue boats have yet to locate the vehicles or missing
people, said Huang Yaxuan, an official of the bureau.
