Pittsburgh is known for the number of bridges it has.. some compare it to Italy..

Today there is one less: Ten people were injured Friday morning when the bridge that carries Forbes Avenue over Frick Park collapsed in Pittsburgh’s Point Breeze neighborhood. Three of the injured were transported to the hospital, Pittsburgh fire Chief Darryl Jones said, but none of them had injuries that were considered life-threatening. UPMC said it received two adult patients in fair condition just before 9 a.m.

Meanwhile, this comes just HOURS before a Biden Presidential visit to the city!

From THE HILL:

The bridge collapse comes as Biden and other top Pennsylvania Democrats, including Rep. Conor Lamb, a Senate candidate, are set to visit the city for an event. 

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted that Biden is aware of the bridge collapse and his event will go on as scheduled.

“@POTUS is grateful to the first responders who rushed to assist the drivers who were on the bridge at the time. The President will proceed with trip planned for today and will stay in touch with officials on the ground about additional assistance we can provide,” Psaki stated.
