Truck narrowly escapes as bridge collapses beneath it in China

A truck narrowly avoided disaster when a bridge partially collapsed beneath it in eastern China on March 18, with CCTV showing the vehicle crossing moments before the structure failed and debris falling into the river. The event signals a localized infrastructure failure that could prompt inspections, short-term transport disruptions on the affected route and repair costs, but it is unlikely to have meaningful broader market impact.
