It was a private person who discovered that the bridge on Gustavsborgsvägen was broken and called the rescue service.

- The whole bridge is off.

It has opened five to six meters, says rescue chief Leif Hylander.

No injuries

It is a public road bridge in Perstorp that has broken down - according to the rescue service on site, it is the tunnels under the bridge that have given way.

It is unknown how this happened.

- We have ordered excavators for the site, says Leif Hylander.

Ybbarpsån flows under the collapsed bridge - it affects the water flow to the nearby industry.

- The water can also be heavily polluted, so we have to work quickly here, says Leif Hylander.

There is also a risk that the lake on the other side will be flooded.

There should be no cars on the site at the moment and no people have been injured.

The rescue service is on site and is blocking the bridge.
