The bridge at Tiger Creek that is used as the main access way to and from Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) collapsed as a heavy-duty truck was crossing yesterday.

As a result, the Guyana Geology and Mines Com-mission (GGMC) has taken steps to effect emergency repairs as soon as possible.

According to the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the collapse of the bridge occurred around 12.45 pm, while the Brian Tiwarie-owned truck, GYY 2075, was crossing it.
