It's an ill wind ... As a result of the current travel restrictions in Italy, no-one was seriously injured by this spectacular bridge collapse (though I bet the driver of that red van got a bit of a surprise). In this case the railway link is that the defunct station of Caprigliola-Albiano stands right at the east end of the bridge (which isn't in the town of Aulla, despite reports).

Bridge collapses in Italy, newest crumbling infrastructure07:39, Apr 09 2020
A huge bridge section has collapsed in Tuscany, the latest case of Italy's infrastructure crumbling after years of neglect.
Police and fire crews roped off the access road to the bridge over the Magra River in Albiano Magra in the province of Massa Carrara, according to Carabinieri footage of the scene Wednesday.
Given Italy's nationwide coronavirus lockdown, there were only two trucks on the provincial road at the time. Italian news reports said one of the drivers was hospitalised.
This aerial photograph provided by the Italian Carabinieri police shows the collapsed bridge in Aulla.
The Anas road agency had sent inspectors to the bridge last year after a crack developed following heavy rains. The section was cleared for further use, Italian agency ANSA said.
The mayor of Aulla, Roberto Vallettini, had written to Anas flagging that heavy trucks were repeatedly using the two-lane bridge because of nearby road closures
I won't ask "what is it with these Italian bridges?" - I think we know the answer, pretty much.
