Pittsburgh Bridge Collapses Hours Before Biden Visit

(Update 8:20 am) A Pittsburgh bridge collapsed today just hours before Joe Biden was scheduled to travel to the city to tout his Infrastructure bill.

10 people were injured when the bridge collapsed around 6 AM. It could have been much worse if it happened just hours later in the morning.

Joe Biden’s handlers are still planning on sending him there today for his speech that was scheduled in the area.

No injuries were immediately reported, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety. A photo from KDKA shows at least four vehicles, including a Port Authority bus, on the bridge.

Nearby homes are being evacuated due to the gas smell. https://t.co/ChuVfyGF4H

According to Pittsburgh Fire Chief Darryl Jones, three people were taken to local hospitals though none had life-threatening injuries.

"It sounded like a huge snow plow … pushing along the surface with no snow," said neighbor Wendy Stroh. "I didn’t know what it was … It was very frightening."

Several cars and a Port Authority bus - which contained the three individuals who have been hospitalized - were involved in the collapse.

And of course, Mayor Ed Gainey used the collapse to highlight the city's infrastructure funding needs!

Just hours before President Joe Biden’s scheduled speech in Pittsburgh about the historic $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said the bridge over Hot Dog Dam Dog Park was inspected just last September.

“This bipartisan infrastructure law is critical,” Gainey said. “At the end of the day it’s critical that we get this funding.” -CBS2 Pittsburgh

BREAKING: "We were fortunate. A bus went over—and right now we don't have no fatalities."
