Huge concrete construct collapsed near Varanasi Train Station in Uttar Pradesh
A city bus, five cars, two auto rickshaws and several motorcycles were crushed
Horrifying images shows the aftermath of a bridge collapse that crushed cars and has killed 18 people so far.
The huge concrete construct collapsed near Varanasi Train Station in Uttar Pradesh, India, on Tuesday afternoon.
The portion of the flyover which collapsed has yet to be moved, with 12 cranes on site, leaving some motorists trapped.
One city bus, five cars, two auto rickshaws and several motorcycles are trapped under the debris.
Rescue workers rushed to the disaster site which marks the latest in a string of deadly construction accidents in India.
'Eighteen bodies have been recovered so far by our teams. Seven teams of the NDRF (National Disaster Response Force) are engaged in rescue operation which is underway,' an official in the disaster control room told AFP.
TV footage showed mangled vehicles trapped under heavy cement girders with huge crowds gathered around.
A witness said a section of the flyover, which was still under construction, collapsed onto the street, crushing buses and cars.
'I was near the flyover when it collapsed. At least four cars, an auto-rickshaw and a minibus were crushed under it,' the witness told reporters in Varanasi, a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Enforcement of safety rules in India is weak and substandard materials are often used in construction.
