Dramatic footage shows bridge being swept away seconds after people had crossed it

The bridge collapse came after heavy rains caused reivers in the area to swell

A video uploaded to Liveleak shows the scary moment a bridge in Colombia collapsed just seconds after people had crossed it.

The short clip shows locals crossing the bridge over the River Tame in Arauca. Just seconds after they cross, a large crack becomes visible, the cameraman quickly steps back and the entire bridge collapses into the river and is swept away.
