Bogor (Antara Bali) - Nine people were reported to be carried away by the current in Ciampea in Bogor district, West Java, when a suspended bamboo bridge they were crossing collapsed on Sunday.
The incident took place at 11.30 am when Bogor district was showered by rain. The rain caused the river water to be muddy and its current to be strong so that it was difficult for rescuers to search the victims.
"We have deployed all members of the Search and Rescue Team and prepared a rubber dingy, but due to the swift and muddy current it is difficult for rescuers to dive. We have put a net about one km in the river's down stream," Bogor Fast Reaction Team head Budi Askomo said.(*/M038)
