“It’s better to stay back and monitor my wife and children at home through phone than for me to enter the water, I was inside a commercial car when we noticed the water had overflowed the bride, and some vehicle was trying to maneuver to the other side, but, I told the driver to drop me, it was at the point everyone noticed the bridge has even washed away.
