GUANGZHOU, April 23 (Xinhua) -- A vessel on Monday night collided with a bridge in the city of Foshan, south China's Guangdong Province, resulting in four people going missing.
A preliminary investigation suggests that the accident may have been caused by incorrect operation of the vessel due to the influence of flooding from an upstream river, local authorities said on Tuesday.
The ship, carrying over 4,900 tonnes of rolled steel, was traveling from Fuzhou, Fujian Province to the city of Heshan, Guangdong on Monday night. The vessel, which had a crew of 11 people, collided with the base of a pillar of the Jiujiang Bridge at 9:20 p.m. and the cargo hold started taking on water. The ship later ran aground and finally sank at around 11:40 p.m.
Seven of the crew members were rescued, while the other four remain missing, according to the city's emergency management department.
As of 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, the local government had coordinated maritime, fishery and social rescue forces in dispatching 32 vessels and more than 400 personnel to participate in search and rescue efforts.
Further investigation of the incident is underway.
Experts quickly conducted a preliminary assessment of the bridge and found no obvious damage to the main structure. However, there were abrasions on the pillar -- requiring further safety assessments.

Heavy rainfall that pounded South China's Guangdong province for days has killed four people and displaced more than 53,000, authorities said on Monday.
Three deaths were reported in the city of Zhaoqing, while the fourth person to die was a rescuer in Shaoguan, where floodwaters trapped residents. Search and rescue operations are continuing for 10 others missing in Shaoguan and Qingyuan.
The downpours, which began on April 16, caused widespread damage. Houses collapsed, roads were blocked, and landslides occurred in the cities of Shaoguan, Guangzhou, Heyuan, Zhaoqing, Qingyuan, Meizhou and Huizhou.
Authorities relocated over 110,000 people, with 25,800 urgently resettled. The flooding also caused economic losses exceeding 140 million yuan ($19.8 million).

After three years of careful maintenance and repair, a set of bronze chariots and horses was recently put on display at the Qinshihuang Mausoleum Museum in Xi'an, Shaanxi province.
Two sets of bronze chariots and horses were discovered at Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum in 1978. Their high-skilled craftsmanship earned them the nickname "king of bronze" in academic circles.
In May 2021, the museum made the No 2 set available for public viewing and began maintenance on the No 1 set.

The spring rainy season has arrived, heralding guyu, or Grain Rain, the sixth of the 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese solar calendar. On schedule, the fields in North China's Shanxi province have come alive with bustling farmers working to take advantage of the precipitation.
Starting April 19 and ending May 4, the Grain Rain signals the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature when grains grow faster and stronger. It's also a pivotal time to protect crops from insect pests.
In Yuncheng city, known as the granary of southern Shanxi, farmers seize the opportunity to water the winter wheat to resist drought and protect the seedlings.
Some of them also are busy planting Chinese yams, harvesting vegetables, and clearing weeds for use as medicinal herbs.
The traditional attire and headdress of the women of Meizhou Island in Putian, Fujian province, is a provincial intangible cultural heritage.
According to legend, the unique ensemble of the fishing women in Meizhou was designed by the sea goddess Mazu (Lin Mo). By adorning themselves with the Mazu headdress and attire, the women of Meizhou pay homage to Mazu, seeking her blessings for safety and happiness.
The intricate headdress, often referred to as the Mazu chignon or sailboat-shaped headdress, is meticulously crafted using real hair and symbolizes various elements of a ship.
The circular bun atop the head represents the ship's rudder, while the red headband within signifies the mooring rope. A silver hairpin horizontally piercing the bun symbolizes the anchor, and the flattened sail-shaped chignon at the back of the head represents the sail. Adorning the sides of the sail chignon are wave-shaped hairpins, symbolizing oars.
Complementing the headdress is the Mazu attire. Its upper garment is a traditional Chinese-style indigo cross-collar top, while the lower garment consists of wide-legged trousers in a combination of red and black, with indigo as the primary color representing the sea, and red and black as secondary colors signifying auspiciousness and remembrance, respectively.
