Hai Duong Province authorities are urgently looking for ways to rescue a ship that is stuck under the An Thai Bridge. The 3,000-tonne Thanh Luan 28 ship was travelling on the An Thai River from Hai Duong to Hai Phong City when it hit An Thai Bridge and trapped there. No loss of human life was reported, but the crash caused a girder of the bridge to crack, affecting traffic near the site. The police had to ban people and vehicles from using the bridge.— VNA/VNS
