Flooding destroyed a bridge in Italy and brought traffic to a standstill
In central Italy, a bridge on the Adriatica highway collapsed due to heavy rains.
This was reported by local media.
The bridge over the Trigno River was destroyed by a powerful torrent of water following a sharp rise in river levels.
The highway had been closed the day before due to the risk of collapse, but the storm still destroyed the bridge.
As a result, the Abruzzo region is now without direct transportation links.
