A bridge connecting two small islands close to Bali collapsed on Sunday, sending motorbikes flying into the water and leaving eight dead and about 30 injured, an official said.
The suspension bridge linking Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, two small islands popular with tourists southeast of Indonesian holiday hot spot Bali, collapsed at 6.30pm (1030 GMT), said the disaster agency.
The narrow bridge can only be crossed by motorcyclists and pedestrians and was particularly busy at the time of the accident because people had been taking part in a Hindu ceremony at a nearby temple.
“Before the bridge collapsed it was already shaking,” said disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.
“Some motorcyclists and people fell into the sea, and people in the area immediately tried to save them.”
Officials suspect it collapsed because it was overloaded, he added. Pictures showed the suspension bridge slumped in shallow water between the two islands.
