1:08Now PlayingDrone footage from Taiwan's Military News Agency shows the aftermath of a bridge collapse in the country's east.
The towering arch bridge collapsed Tuesday, sending an oil tanker truck falling onto boats in the water below.
An air force helicopter, fishing vessels and more than 60 military personnel, including divers, were searching for possible victims.
Six people are believed trapped on one of the fishing boats, the National Fire Agency said.
Authorities said about five people were feared to have been on the bridge when it collapsed.
Ten people were sent to hospitals, six of them with serious injuries.
The 140-metre-long (460-foot) bridge collapsed about 9:30 a.m. in Nanfangao, a tiny but often-crowded Pacific coast fishing village.
The weather at the time was sunny, but the collapse occurred hours after a typhoon swept by the island.
