A digger removed a crushed car from under a collapsed flyover in the Indian city of Kolkata on Thursday (March 31) as part of a rescue operation after the structure came crashing down on to vehicles and street vendors below.
The structure, which was under construction, collapsed, killing at least 14 people with more than 100 people feared trapped.
Residents used their bare hands to try to rescue people pinned under a 100-metre (110-yard) length of metal and cement that snapped off at one end and came down in a teeming commercial district near Girish Park.
A coordinated rescue operation was slow to get under way, with access for heavy lifting gear and ambulances restricted by the buildings on either side of the flyover and heavy traffic.
Police said that 78 injured had been taken to Kolkata's Medical College Hospital after the disaster struck at around noon.
Eyewitness Ravindra Kumar Gupta, a grocer, said two buses carrying more than 100 passengers were trapped. Eight taxis and six auto rickshaws were partly visible in the wreckage.
