The bridge fell just before the President was scheduled to discuss infrastructure.

This morning, a bridge in Frick Park in Pittsburgh suddenly collapsed under the weight of four vehicles and snow. Rescue came promptly, and while some extensive measures were required to safely extract all bystanders from the scene, everyone was safely rescued with only some minor, non-life threatening injuries reported.

“The scariest part was definitely going over the edge because there was a gap and my car left the ground,” Pittsburgh local Jeremy Habowski, who was driving one of the cars on the bridge when it collapsed, told CNN.

Another local who lives nearby, Wendy Stroh, told reporters that sound of the bridge collapsing was like “a huge snow plow pushing along a raw tarmac surface with no snow.”

“It’s very frightening,” she said. “My goodness, all these ambulances and fire trucks and what not. Just the thought of the bridge collapsing is a very scary prospect. I cross that bridge all the time.”

Coincidentally, this collapse occurred right before US President Joe Biden was scheduled to speak in the city about the importance of his infrastructure bill. “This is a horrible way to underscore just how critical our infrastructure needs are in this country,” Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman told CNN.

“The President is grateful to the first responders who rushed to assist the drivers who were on the bridge at the time,” the White House said in an official statement. Biden is planning on proceeding with his trip to Pittsburgh.
