HANOI, Sep 26 (Reuters) A bridge under construction today collapsed in southern Vietnam, killing at least 60 workers, and 100 others were missing, a contractor and police said.

State-run Vietnam TV showed footage of the damage to the collapsed concrete and steel structure in Can Tho City and reported that people were still trapped in the rubble. The city is 170 km south of the country's commercial centre, Ho Chi Minh City.
