It was unknown how many people were in the cars, and fire department scuba divers were searching the river. FERNANDO ARAUJO/AP Para state Governor Helder Barbalho told reporters that witnesses reported two small cars falling into the water. FERNANDO ARAUJO/AP In this April 6, 2019 handout photo released by Para Government, a ferry boat collided with a bridge pillar causing part of the bridge to collapse in the Moju river, state of Para, Brazil. The state government said it would install ramps and have barges ferry cars from one end of the broken bridge to the other while the span is rebuilt. In 2014, a boat collided with a pillar of another bridge in the same bridge complex, causing about 50m of the span to collapse.
