Two people were killed and at least 10 injured after a section of a highway collapsed in Mississippi, USA late Monday.
According to police, three of the injured were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
At least seven vehicles were involved in the crash near Lucedale, about 36 miles from Mobile, Alabama.
Local authorities believe the collapse was caused by torrential rainfall as Hurricane Ida struck the southern US.
Mississippi Highway Police said the collapse was 50 to 60 feet long and 20 to 30 feet deep.
Local news channel WSDU quoted highway patrol spokesperson Corporal Cal Robertson as saying that the collapse left cars stacked on top of each other.
