An investigation is to be launched after the Hoornbrug road bridge over the Rhine-Schie canal in Rijswijk in the western Netherlands opened on Monday, leaving a man clinging on.

Authorities say that the bridge should be clear and gates locked before the bridge is opened.
It is believed that the man and a friend had evaded the barriers and tried to cross as the bridge was opening.
The man's friend successfully crossed, but he was too slow and was forced to hang on as the bridge fully opened then closed again.
In light of the incident, bridge guards have been told to be extra alert.
