Five people were feared to have been on the bridge when it collapsed.
A towering arch bridge over a bay in eastern Taiwan collapsed Tuesday, sending a burning oil tanker truck falling onto boats in the water below. An air force helicopter, fishing vessels and more than 60 military personnel, including divers, were searching for victims.
The 460-foot bridge collapsed about 9:30 a.m. in Nanfangao, a tiny but often crowded Pacific coast fishing village. Rescue personnel look on at a bridge after it collapsed in the Nanfangao fish harbor in Suao township. Of the 10 people hospitalized, six are Filipinos and three are Indonesians, the agency said in a statement. People from both countries regularly work on fishing boats registered in Taiwan, where pay is better than in their home countries.The center of Typhoon Mitag passed east of Taiwan on Monday night and early Tuesday, but the outer winds gusting up to 85 miles per hour affected the island before the storm moved to the northeast.
