A bridge in Karelia collapsed along with a truck

Bridge collapse in Borovoy

In the settlement of Borovoy in Karelia, a bridge over the Burlivaya River collapsed — along with a truck that was on it. The incident was reported by the Telegram channel «KarelInform», which is cited by Gazeta.Ru. According to the source, crossing the river is completely blocked, and drivers are asked to choose alternative routes.

What remains unknown

It is not reported when traffic across the bridge will be restored; no official comments from the relevant services had been received at the time of publication. Thus, it remains unclear what the nature of the structural damage is, the circumstances under which the truck ended up on the bridge, or the condition of the driver — this information is absent from the available publications.

A series of similar incidents

This is not the only such case in recent times: earlier, according to the same outlet, in the Moscow region, at the 57th kilometer of the M-10 «Rossiya» highway, at around 18:30 the body of a truck hit a pedestrian bridge, and the structure collapsed — the incident was caught on video. In addition, in September, on the Altai – Kuzbass highway, a Volvo truck with a semi-trailer broke through the railing of a bridge over the Kostikha River and fell down; the impact was so strong that the semi-trailer was torn apart. No connection between these incidents has been noted in the publications.
