Deasabamento de Autoestrada na China

Pelo menos 36 pessoas morreram na sequência do desabamento de uma autoestrada na província de Guangdong, sul da China, de acordo com um novo balanço divulgado hoje pela agência de notícias estatal chinesa.

A Xinhua informou que “36 pessoas tinham morrido e 30 ficaram feridas”.

Na quarta-feira, um balanço das autoridades da cidade de Meizhou dava conta de 24 mortos.

Vinte e três viaturas foram encontradas numa vala depois de um troço da autoestrada com 17,9 metros de comprimento ter desabado, indicou o governo local em comunicado.

Trinta pessoas ficaram feridas, nenhuma em risco de vida, referiu a nota.

O acidente ocorreu pelas 02:00 de quarta-feira (19:00 de terça-feira em Lisboa).

A província de Guangdong, que faz fronteira com Macau e Hong Kong, tem sido afetada por fortes chuvas, inundações e queda de granizo, nos últimos dias.

Imagens publicadas nas redes sociais e captadas pela imprensa local mostravam fumo e chamas a sair da vala onde os carros caíram. O solo por baixo da autoestrada parece ter cedido, juntamente com o troço que desabou.

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

A razão do desmoronamento ainda não é conhecida.
