NARATHIWAT: Six people drowned and another was missing after their pickup plunged into the river when a bridge collapsed in storm-hit Sukhirin district on Sunday afternoon.
The bridge fell as the ground at one end subsided, near Ban Non Sombun, Moo 5 village, in tambon Phu Khao Thong.
The four-door Toyota Vigo Prerunner was dumped into rapidly flowing water about 5 metres deep, the river swollen by runoff after days of continuous rain.
The pickup sank top down in the water.
Local reports said seven people were travelling in the vehicle - three men, two women and two very young girls.
