This is the horrific moment a mother and child drowned when a bridge collapsed in floods which have claimed the lives of more than 150 people in India.
Desperate families were fleeing to the safety of neighbouring villages after their homes were taken over by floodwater in the Araria district of the Indian state of Bihar.
A single bridge provided the only route across the overflowing river Kosi, and locals were forced to run across, despite the river undercutting its foundations.
Chilling footage captured the tragic moment the bridge gave way just as a husband, wife and their child tried to make the crossing – and the woman and child plummeted into the waters below.
