According to
Following the bridge collapse in the afternoon of September 9, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc held an emergency meeting with the Phu Tho People's Committee, Military Region 2, and other relevant authorities to coordinate rescue efforts and assess the damage.
At the meeting, it was reported that eight vehicles (including one truck, one car, five motorbikes, and one electric bicycle) and more than 10 individuals had fallen into the river. Fortunately, three people were rescued and taken to the hospital.
The Phong Chau Bridge collapsed at around 10 a.m. that day. The bridge, located on National Highway 32 and connecting the two districts of Lam Thao and Tam Nong in Phu Tho Province, suddenly gave way into the rushing, muddy waters below. At the time, many people and vehicles were crossing the bridge. According to the Phu Tho Department of Transport, the collapse was triggered by the effects of Typhoon Yagi, which caused heavy rain and flooding. The rising water levels of the Red River, along with the swift current, altered the riverbed, weakening the T7 pillar and causing two main spans (spans 6 and 7) of the bridge to collapse.
