Quotable

"Relevant government departments should thoroughly investigate the accident's cause and find out who should be held responsible. They must not use any excuse to evade their responsibilities or conceal the truth."

Wang Xiankui, governor of Heilongjiang province, made the remarks when inspecting the scene of a collapsed bridge. A ramp on the viaduct that connects the main body of Yangmingtan Bridge in Harbin collapsed on Friday morning, causing four trucks to plunge about 30 meters to the ground. The accident killed three people and injured five.
