Three men on a motorcycle were swept away by strong floodwaters while crossing a submerged bridge in Odisha's Koraput district, officials said on Thursday.
The incident occurred on the Malda-Kailari bridge under Borigumma block, where water had risen to nearly five feet after incessant rainfall.
A video showed the bikers entering the bridge despite the heavy flow of water. Midway, the motorcycle lost balance, toppled, and all three were carried downstream by the force of the water.
