A 485ft-long bridge made of wood and steel in Norway collapsed during rush hour yesterday morning, sending a truck and a car plunging toward the water below.

A helicopter was needed to pull the lorry driver out of his sunken vehicle, which sat in an almost vertical position on a collapsed section of the bridge raised at an angle out of the water.
