Linyi, China - Cars in a wedding caravan had a scary near-death experience Monday, after a bridge collapsed beneath them.  
Torrential rains pounded the Chinese city of Linyi.  

Take a look. You can see the vehicles stuck in the river, which is more than 32 feet deep.  

Emergency crews used rope to slide down the broken bridge to reach the party.  

But the rescue was complicated by a mudslide. 

A driver stuck in one of the crashed cars was the only one injured.  

A doctor told CC-TV the victim's injuries were not life-threatening dangers. 

Chinese officials say parts of the country are enduring the heaviest rains in  six decades.
