The death toll in the collapse of a bridge over a river in Gujarat's Vadodara district has gone up to 13 with the recovery of two more bodies, officials said on Thursday.

The police stated that ten bodies have been recovered so far, and nine-10 people were rescued. They also expect that the death toll could rise as the rescue and search operations continue.

A slab of the Gambhira bridge, which connects central Gujarat to the Saurashtra region and is located near Padra town, caved in on Wednesday, killing 13 persons. Visuals from the site showed the entire chunk of the slab of the bridge between two piers had collapsed.
