A bridge collapse in the Bryansk region on June 1st resulted in casualties and prompted a response from emergency services. The incident occurred near the A240 federal highway, close to the village of Vygonichi.

Governor Alexander Bogomaz reported the event, initially describing it as a “road traffic accident involving cars and a passenger train.” Eyewitness accounts suggest a truck was on the bridge as it collapsed, while a train was passing underneath, leading to a subsequent collision.

Details regarding the vehicles involved, specifically whether a truck was indeed present, remain unconfirmed due to conflicting witness statements.

Emergency services and authorities are currently at the scene, providing assistance to the victims. The number of injured is currently unknown.
