Saddened by flyover tragedy here, Australia women's team vice-captain Alex Blackwell today condoled the death of several people in the incident ahead of their Women World Twenty20 cricket summit clash against the West Indies tomorrow.
"First of all I would like to offer my condolence to the families affected by the bridge collapse that we learnt about when we arrived. Obviously it's a very tough time, and all the emergency crew that are currently working on it. We're with them," she said today.
More than a dozen were killed and several injured after being trapped under a flyover collapse in a densely populated locality in north Kolkata near Ganesh Talkies near Girish Park yesterday afternoon.
Several people are still trapped under the debris even as the rescue operation is going on.
