Snow-covered bridge collapses in Pittsburgh,10 people injured,3 taken to hospital |Pittsburghbridge|

10 people injured, 3 taken to hospital after snow-covered bridge collapses in Pittsburgh. Ten people were injured and three were taken to a hospital after a snow-covered bridge in Pittsburgh collapsed Friday morning, Pittsburgh fire officials said. The three people taken to the hospital have non-life-threatening injuries, Pittsburgh Fire Chief Darryl Jones told reporters Friday. He said three or four vehicles were on the bridge when it collapsed. The U.S. Army Reserve is being deployed to ensure no victims are trapped under the collapsed bridge, the public safety department said. Pittsburgh Port Authority confirmed to USA TODAY that a 60-foot city bus was on the bridge during the collapse. The bus driver and two passengers escaped without injury. The two-lane bridge, called Fern Hollow Bridge, came down just before 7 a.m. over Fern Hollow Creek in Frick Park, police said. Jones said a "massive gas leak" caused by the collapse is now "under control" and gas services have been restored. A gas line was cut after the public safety department reported "a strong smell of natural gas in the area." Officials have urged residents to avoid the area, and several area families were evacuated but have since returned to their homes surrounding the bridge, Jones said. Photos from Pittsburgh Public Safety showed the collapsed bridge as police cars arrived and a Pittsburgh city bus sitting nearly upright on the fallen bridge. Another image from local news station KDKA-TV showed at least four vehicles in the chasm left by the fallen bridge as another vehicle dangled near the edge. The collapse came hours before President Joe Biden was set to visit the city to discuss a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that includes bridge maintenance. The White House said in a statement Biden still plans to visit Pittsburgh. "Our team is in touch with state and local officials on the ground as they continue to gather information about the cause of the collapse," the statement said. "The President is grateful to the first responders who rushed to assist the drivers who were on the bridge at the time."
