According to the AP, the bridge — which opened in 2012 — connected the west bank of the Gudbrandsdalslaagen River to the Norwegian village of Tretten.
While speaking with theDabgladetnewspaper, local mayor Jon Halvor Midtmageli called the incident “completely catastrophic, completely unreal.”

“It is completely destroyed, everything has fallen down,” he added of the decimated structure, which is set to receive a visit from Norwegian transportation minister Jon-Ivar Nygård on Monday, per the AP.
“The whole house was shaking. I was rolling up the blinds in the bedroom and looked right at a bridge laying in the river,” he said, according to the AP.
