Public Statement: About 7am this morning (6 Aug 2014) a commercial fuel tanker attempted to cross the Kingston Bridge traveling from Kainantu towards the Aiyura Valley. While the truck was on the bridge the bridge collapsed under the load. Both the bridge and the truck fell into the river below. Reports are that the driver is okay, but we have no further information on his condition. The bridge is not passable by vehicle. Foot traffic may be possible but not encouraged. Please be in prayer that a solution can be found soon so that travel can resume. SIL-PNG Ukarumpa is putting contingency plans into place.
