A flood-swollen river caused a village bridge to collapse in central China, killing at least 37 people.

Another 29 people were still missing after a 153-meter-long bridge in mountainous Luanchuan County in Henan Province collapsed on Saturday afternoon.

Most of the people on the bridge were tossed into the river, raging after weeks of torrential rains, but six people were rescued, the Dahe newspaper said yesterday.
