Ten people were injured Friday morning when a bridge that carries Forbes Avenue over Frick Park in Pittsburgh collapsed, officials said, with six vehicles including a Port Authority bus left stranded in the twisted mess of a bridge that had been listed in poor condition for the past decade.
Three people were transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Pittsburgh fire Chief Darryl Jones said. A fourth person — one of the two passengers on the bus — was taken to a hospital about two hours after the crash, Port Authority spokesperson Adam Brandolph said. UPMC said in a statement that all four were in fair condition.
“We were fortunate” that no one was killed, Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said Friday morning from the scene of the collapse, where he was joined by Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and Pennsylvania Lt. Gov John Fetterman, among others.
Remember, his vote on infrastructure was NO.
