A coal barge crashing into the pole of the Aurduri 1 bridge occurred on Sunday (17/11) in the waters of the Batanghari River, Pasir Panjang, Teluk Lake, Jambi City.

From the video, a conversation was also heard by someone who said the coal barge hit the bridge support pole.

"The pole connection shifts are broken," said someone in the video.

Then the barge that hit the disease pole of the Aurduri bridge was marginalized at the nearest post.
