Rescue operations were underway on Saturday morning, with five vehicles recovered from the water so far, according to Xinhua. Images on state television CCTV showed a partially submerged section of the bridge with the river rushing over it.
Since Tuesday, large portions of northern and central China have been battered by rains, causing flooding and significant damage. On Friday, state media reported at least five people dead and eight missing after the rains triggered flooding and mudslides in Shaanxi's Baoji city.
China is experiencing a summer of extreme weather, with heavy rains across the east and south while much of the north has sweltered through successive heat waves.
