KUANTAN: A heavily pregnant woman and a child were among seven people rescued after a bridge collapsed at Sungai Mok, Rompin, this afternoon.
Rompin police chief Sharif Shai Sharif Mondoi said the bridge collapsed at around 8am.
“The evacuation involved two men, three elderly women, a pregnant woman and a young girl. Those at highest risk were moved first to ensure their safety,” he said in a statement today. He said all victims, aged 11 to 55, were moved in with relatives.
The bridge connected Kampung Selendang and Kampung Sungai Mok. The district public works department said Jalan Kampung Sungai Mok is closed to all vehicles following the bridge collapse.
