Local media released a list with the names of the identified victims of a highway bridge collapse in Henan province on Friday.
The accident happened at about 9 am, when an overloaded truck with 9 tons of fireworks exploded and made the 30-meter bridge collapse. The accident left 10 dead and 11 injured.
The list with the names of six of the dead, as well as the 11 injured, was released on Monday morning by the Zhengzhou Evening News. The identities of the other four people are not available yet.
The youngest injured person is 17-year-old Shan Wanwan from Qinyang, Henan province, and the oldest injured person was 51-year-old Xiao Jianmin, a resident of Xingyang, Hanan province.
Five of the six dead people with their identities confirmed are male.
Many people expressed their condolences on the Internet after the list was released.
The local government was criticized by some members of the public on Monday due to its news brief, which focused too much on the officials' efforts in the rescue works, but failed to provide detailed information about the victims.
