At least 8 people have been declared dead after a bridge collapse over the Tonalá River in southeastern Mexico. Five cars plunged into the river.

To be updated when more information comes in.

The tractor trailers are a possible cause of the collapse; potentially being too heavy for the bridge to support. The machinery carried by the trailers quickly sunk into the river.

Fishing boats rescued three people from the river while divers have been sent in to locate other bodies.

The area is known for its traffic congestion.
