A bridge collapsed, leaving workers missing and damaging properties estimated to be worth millions in Jiangxi, China at 9:00 am on Sunday.

The incident occurred while the bridge was being demolished to pave the way for another bridge around the same region.

A group of eight workers fell into the river. Five were recovered and immediately rushed to the hospital, and three are still missing.

"I was driving an escavator when the floor of the bridge suddenly collapsed. I lost all consciousness after the fall," said Hu Qihua, one of the five recovered workers.

Two of the workers were left in a critical condition as they suffered massive bone fractures. The two, Shan Yongkun, 27, and Huang Yong, 32, still count their blessings after the incident  

Police officers and rescuers are still looking for the missing workers. 

About three trucks were buried under the chaotic scene while five were secured with three still missing.

Some have raised questions about why the workers were at the site on a Sunday and how many they were in total.

The incident left many bystanders in shock as they stopped their vehicles and motorcycles to stare at the whole massacre.

A CCTV surveillance camera captured the whole incident.

Investigations are still ongoing into what might have caused the incident.

The 828-meter-long bridge was finished in the 1990s. An inspection showed that the bridge needed repairs in late 2012. Rennovations had kicked off in August.
