Divers of the Indian Navy, Goa police and fire services launched a search and rescue operation but could not find the four missing persons as their efforts were hampered due to the darkness.</p>
<p>
Eyewitnesses said the SUV tried to overtake a car over the Zuari bridge on the national highway at Cortalim village, about 15 km from the state capital Panaji when it crashed into the side railings and plunged into the river below.</p>
<p>
The bridge is located on the national highway between Margao (south Goa) and Panaji cities.</p>
<p>
“The Goa Police along with a coast guard vessel, barges, fire and emergency services personnel launched an operation to locate the vehicle, but could not trace it in the night due to darkness,” a police official said.</p>
