More collapsing infrastructure: A 30m section of the entrance ramp to the unopened second Penang Bridge near Jalan Batu Maung collapsed this evening, smashing vehicle(s) with four feared dead.
“Serious bridge collapsed at Penang Second Bridge. 1-2 Cars under ruin. Bomba trying best. I m at ground zero. Lets pray for the best!” reports Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin. Hundreds of rescue workers are frantically working at the scene.
The section collapsed at around 7.00pm when traffic along the coastal road was very heavy. The fire department was briefed that a car was trapped underneath and personnel are now waiting for a bigger crane to lift the fallen section.
