BREAKING NEWS: M25 Bridge Collapse Due to Alleged Construction Failure
In an unprecedented incident, a bridge over the M25 has collapsed, sending shockwaves through the region and causing significant disruption. The collapse occurred earlier today during peak traffic hours, resulting in a chaotic scene as vehicles were caught beneath the debris.
Witnesses report seeing dust clouds and hearing a loud rumble as the bridge suddenly gave way. “It was terrifying,” said one motorist who was driving nearby. “One moment everything was normal, and the next, there were cars trapped under the bridge. It felt like a scene from a disaster movie.”
Preliminary investigations suggest that the collapse may be linked to reported construction failures. Sources close to the investigation revealed that concerns regarding the bridge’s integrity had been raised multiple times before, but those warnings seemingly went unaddressed.

Emergency services rapidly responded to the scene, with fire crews and paramedics working diligently to rescue trapped individuals and assess the damage. At least a dozen people have been reported injured, with several in serious condition. Authorities have issued a statement urging the public to stay clear of the area as rescue operations continue.
Inspections have been ordered for all nearby bridges on the M25, and transportation authorities have vowed to investigate the company responsible for the bridge’s construction and maintenance. Officials are already facing scrutiny over whether adequate safety protocols were followed during the recent construction work.
As the day unfolds, local residents and commuters are expressing outrage over the incident, questioning the safety measures in place on such a major roadway. “This should never have happened. How can we trust our infrastructure if corners are being cut?” one concerned citizen stated.
