The Jazan region of Saudi Arabia witnessed heavy rains on Saturday, August 3, leading to a bridge collapse leaving cars stranded on the highway.
The intense downpour lasted for 10 hours and caused a flash flood from the nearby mountains that swept away part of the bridge on the Abu Arish-Sabya road in the region, with floods flowing westward through the central governorates and their villages towards the sea.
According to the reports, one person died due to the collapse which left vehicles stuck on both sides of the damaged bridge.
