JAKARTA - Five people died after the rope on the suspension bridge broke in China's Xinjiang region. The incident occurred on Wednesday in a tourist area in Kazakh's Ili Autonomous Prefecture, injuring 24 others.
The location is temporarily closed for investigation of the cause of the accident.
Video circulating on social media, verified by Reuters, shows a low suspension bridge tilting to one side with a hand handle made of rope stretching between the pedestrian path and the ground beneath. Some of the bridges hang over the river.
The videos also show at least two people lying on the ground under the bridge.
In one video, a victim is laid on a wooden board, while another video shows people carrying emergency stretchers away from the scene.
