At least 24 people were killed when a section of a motorway collapsed in South China’s Guangdong Province early on Wednesday morning.
According to the provincial authorities in Meizhou, another 30 individuals are being treated in hospitals, with no one in critical condition.

“The collapsed section is 17.9 metres long and covers an area of 184.3 square metres”, the officials continued.
