One man died and two others were injured when a bridge built on the Kabul River collapsed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Charsadda district on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred when a truck carrying cement was crossing the bridge constructed over Kabul River at Sardaryab, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Sayam told DawnNews<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The 10-wheeler truck carrying 1,600 bags of cement was on its way from Peshawar to Charsadda, and fell into the river following the collapse.<\/p>\n

The two injured in the incident were shifted to district headquarters hospital, Charsadda.<\/p>\n

Hospital sources said that all three men involved in the accident were travelling in the truck, although they are yet to be identified.<\/p>\n

Following collapse of a section of the bridge, traffic was diverted to the one-way road of the bridge.<\/p>\n

The bridge, which connects Peshawar with Charsadda, was built in 1939 and was in a dilapidated condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
