Bridge collapse kills 11 people

RESCUERS say the number of people killed when a bridge collapsed in central Indonesia has climbed to 11, with more than 30 others missing and feared dead.

Sunarbowo Sandi, head of the search-and-rescue team, said some of the victims are believed trapped in buses and cars that crashed into the murky Mahakam river below.

The 700-metre structure — built to resemble the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco — collapsed over the weekend after a steel support cable snapped while repair work was being done.
