On cam: tourists drive car onto bridge, days after Morbi tragedy; forced back by locals in Karnataka

Less than two days after the bridge collapse in Gujarat's Morbi, a shocking video has emerged from Karnataka.

In the viral video, some people are seen driving a car on a small suspension bridge. Local residents are seen confronting the people in the car, who were tourists from Maharashtra, as per news reports.

The locals eventually forced the tourists to drive the car back off the bridge. At one point, two men also push the car towards one end of the bridge. Many people are also seen standing behind the car - a Maruti Suzuki 800 - which barely fit on the bridge.

Reports said that the incident occurred on the Shivapura hanging bridge, a tourist attraction in Yellapura town in Karnataka's Uttara Kannada district.

The incident came to light against the backdrop of the Morbi disaster in which over 130 people died after a suspension bridge collapsed. There are allegations that more people were allowed on to the bridge than it could hold. Also, the bridge was not allegedly renovated properly and opened to public ahead of schedule without following due procedure.
