Earlier, rescue workers helped 22 people and found the bodies of two children from the accident.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency said about 40 villagers were on the wooden bridge when it collapsed, causing them to fall into the river below.

A spokesman said the suspension bridge collapsed because it could not bear the number of people on it. The victims were watching a rafting exercise from the bridge, which linked two villages.


The cause of the accident has been investigated./.
