Seven killed as popular tourist bridge 'overturns'

At least seven people have died and 14 are seriously injured after a suspension bridge popular with tourists in rural Colombia is believed to have overturned, hurling victims more than 260 feet into a gorge.

The bridge near the central Colombian city of Villavicencio is a major tourist attraction and authorities say it may have overturned yesterday because it was overloaded during a busy three-day holiday weekend.
