HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — At least seven mourners were killed and 37 others were injured when a suspension bridge broke as they were transporting a coffin to a graveyard in northern Vietnam, police said Monday.

Police officer Phung Quang Tuyen said cables on one side of the year-old bridge in Lai Chau province’s Tam Duong district snapped, causing the group to fall about 20 meters (65 feet) onto rocks. He said 23 of the injuries were serious.
