Five injured tourists are out of critical condition after falling into a
river from an overturned floating bridge in Lin'an City in E. China's Zhejiang
Province, the local government said.
Five others were killed in the accident.
The accident occurred at 10:15 a.m. Sunday at a scenic spot in the famous
West Zhejiang Canyon. All 88 people on the 244-meter-long bridge fell into the

The overturning may have been caused by some tourists swinging it, according
to the witnesses.
