A horror incident saw a bridge come crashing down in a "catastrophic" collapse with vehicles travelling on it at the time.
One lorry and another car were sent plunging toward the chilly Gudbrandsdalslaagen River below in Norway, though both drivers are now said to be in a good condition.
Local resident Atle Formo said he hear a huge crash that caused his whole house to shake.
He told Norwegian broadcaster TV2: "The whole house was shaking.
"I was rolling up the blinds in the bedroom and looked right at a bridge laying in the river."
The 485ft wood and steel Tretten Bridge collapsed around 7.30am local time on Monday, August 15.
Emergency services were called to the scene and a helicopter was needed to pull out the stuck lorry.
Local Mayor Jon Halvor Midtmageli told the newspaper Dabgladet: "It is completely catastrophic, completely unreal.
"It is also a fairly new bridge. It is completely destroyed, everything has fallen down."
Remarkably, the 485ft Tretten Bridge in central Norway was only 10 years old.
An independent investigation will now have to take place to determine the cause of the collapse, called for by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
It is reported to have been part of an important route for many drivers, running between Norway's main north-south motorway just north of the town of Lillehammer.
It also allows the 900 Tretten village inhabitants to cross over the river and replaced a former bridge that stood there since 1894.
The 2012 bridge was supposed to last for up to 100 years.
The head of the organisation, Ingrid Dahl Hovland, said: "It must be safe to drive on Norwegian roads. That is why it is important to get to the bottom of this case."
The Norwegian Automobile Federation organisation's spokeswoman Ingunn Handagard added: "We who travel on the roads must be able to trust that the bridges are safe to drive on."
In 2016, a "similar" bridge in Sjoa in the Gudbrand valley collapsed while also made of laminated timber.
Nobody was killed but a lorry driver was injured.
Tretten was closed along with 11 others in the wake of the collapse so the Government could investigate the cause of the collapse, eventually out down to a "defective joint in the framework."
Following the review, reports by Norweigan broadcaster NRK indicated there were some maintenance issues discovered that needed improvement on the Tretten Bridge, but it was otherwise deemed safe for traffic to use.
All wooded bridges in the region will now be re-inspected as a result of the latest collapse.
