One person was killed on Wednesday when more than 200 vehicles were involved in a pile-up on a bridge in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou in heavy fog, rescuers said.

 

Cars and trucks could been seen crumpled and piled on top of each other on the Zhengxin Huanghe bridge. 

 

"This is too scary. Full of people here, I don't think we can get off the bridge," one person can be heard saying in one video clip.

 

Many of the injured were trapped in their vehicles. A total of 11 fire trucks and 66 firefighters were sent to aid the rescue, state media reported.

 

Visibility in many areas was less than 500 metres on Wednesday morning and down to 200 metres at times, the meteorological service said.
