<p>VADODRA, India (AP) — At least nine people were killed after a bridge over a river collapsed in India's western Gujarat state on Wednesday, news agency Press Trust of India reported while quoting police officials.</p>
<p>Gujarat's Health Minister Rushikesh Patel said several vehicles were on the bridge when a portion of it collapsed, sending many into the river. He said at least five people were rescued.</p>
<p>The incident occurred in Gujarat's Vadodara district, which has witnessed heavy rains over the past few days. The bridge was constructed in 1985, Patel said.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the accident was "deeply saddening" and offered condolences to those who died.</p>
<p>India's infrastructure has long been marred by safety concerns, sometimes leading to major disasters on its highways and bridges.</p>
<p>In 2022, a century-old cable suspension bridge collapsed into a river in Gujarat, sending hundreds plunging into the water and killing at least 132.</p>
