A digger removed a crushed car from under a collapsed flyover in the Indian city of Kolkata on Thursday (March 31) as part of a rescue operation after the structure came crashing down on to vehicles and street vendors below. <br /> <br />The structure, which was under construction, collapsed, killing at least 14 people with more than 100 people feared trapped. <br /> <br />Residents used their bare hands to try to rescue people pinned under a 100-metre (110-yard) length of metal and cement that snapped off at one end and came down in a teeming commercial district near Girish Park. <br /> <br />A coordinated rescue operation was slow to get under way, with access for heavy lifting gear and ambulances restricted by the buildings on either side of the flyover and heavy traffic. <br /> <br />Police said that 78 injured had been taken to Kolkata's Medical College Hospital after the disaster struck at around noon. <br /> <br />Eyewitness Ravindra Kumar Gupta, a grocer, said two buses carrying more than 100 passengers were trapped. Eight taxis and six auto rickshaws were partly visible in the wreckage.
