ShanghaiEye魔都眼 Forty-eight people were killed when a mountainside highway collapsed in Meizhou, China’s Southeastern Guangdong province on Wednesday morning after several days of intense rainfall.
Thirty injured were taken to hospital for urgent medical treatment, none in critical condition. No buses or hazardous vehicles were involved in the accident. The collapse affected roughly 18 meters of road, covering 184 square meters.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has urgently directed rescue and relief efforts, including rescuing victims, treating the injured, and managing the crisis aftermath. The president also called for quick road repairs and traffic restoration, urging thorough risk assessments, strengthened monitoring, and enhanced emergency plans.
Local authorities set up a rescue command center staffed by over 500 professionals from public security, emergency services, fire and rescue, and healthcare sectors. The highway remains closed as investigations into the collapse continue.
