Desabamento de autoestrada mata 19 pessoas no sul da China

Pelo menos 19 pessoas morreram hoje, quando uma autoestrada se desmoronou na província de Guangdong, no sul da China, informou a imprensa local.

Dezoito veículos ficaram presos em consequência do colapso, detalhou a televisão estatal CCTV.

O incidente “envolveu 49 pessoas, 19 das quais foram confirmadas como mortas”, acrescentou.

A região tem sido afetada por fortes chuvas nos últimos dias e as equipas de resgate levaram 30 pessoas para o hospital, de acordo com a CCTV.

As pessoas hospitalizadas não correm perigo de vida, acrescentou a televisão estatal.

Um troço da estrada com 17,9 metros de comprimento ruiu por volta das 02h00 locais (19h00 de terça-feira em Lisboa), segundo as autoridades da cidade de Meizhou, na província de Guangdong.

No total, 18 veículos foram afetados pelo desabamento.

Imagens publicadas nas redes sociais e captadas pela imprensa local mostram fumo e chamas a sair da vala onde os carros caíram.

As autoridades anunciaram que cerca de 500 pessoas foram enviadas para ajudar nos trabalhos de resgate.

A razão do colapso ainda não foi indicada.

A província de Guangdong, que faz fronteira com Macau e Hong Kong, foi atingida por uma série de fenómenos meteorológicos violentos nas últimas semanas, desde inundações mortíferas a um tornado destruidor.
