Two women died and at least 10 people were injured -- three of them seriously -- after a suspension footbridge collapsed into a river in central Serbia.
The accident happened while visitors from Republika Srpska, the Serb entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina, were crossing the footbridge from the spa town of Ovcar Banja near Cacak in order to reach an Orthodox monastery on the opposite bank of the Western Morava river.
The women died after getting entangled in the ropes of the collapsed bridge. Reports said the collapse was likely caused by the bridge becoming overladen.
Local media said the injured were taken to the hospital in the nearby town of Cacak.
