Bridge over Rivo stream
Partial collapse of a municipal bridge over the torrente Rio in the Macchialaccavone locality of Trivento (Campobasso, Molise) on 10 September 2016, caused by an exceptional flash flood that struck the area following a violent thunderstorm. The collapse isolated several contrade including Casale San Felice, Querciapiana and Montagna, and interrupted the provincial road connecting Trivento to Campobasso for several hours. The Vigili del fuoco and Protezione Civile intervened with pumps. No fatalities or injuries were reported.
