YAOUNDE / ISTANBUL At least 32 people were killed when an overcrowded bridge at a copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo collapsed, a regional government official said Sunday. Speaking to reporters, Provincial Interior Minister Roy Kaumba Mayonde attributed Saturday’s accident to the “hasty crossing of the diggers,” which he said caused the makeshift bridge to collapse into a flooded ditch. Mayonde said an investigation has been launched to determine those responsible for the tragedy. “
