A small bridge connecting two villages in Central Java province, collapsed</a> during a traditional festival on Friday, July 20, injuring around 20 people.

This video shows moments after the bridge collapsed, with people being plucked from the river.

Local police chief Sunaryo said</a> around 20 people and three motorcycles plunged into the river when the bridge suddenly collapsed.

One eyewitness said</a> a 5-month-old baby was among those who fell into the water.
