A bridge in Pittsburgh collapsed on Friday, hours before U.S. President Joe Biden was due to arrive in the former steel city to highlight his efforts to strengthen the country's infrastructure.
Ten people sustained injuries, all of them minor, when the snow-covered span collapsed into a wooded gully at about 6 a.m., according to authorities, who said a massive gas leak was reported in the area at the time.
The leak was brought under control, they said.
Drone images showed several vehicles piled in the rubble of the collapsed roadway at the bottom of a wooded gully. At least one vehicle, which appeared to be a bus, was dangling at the edge of part of the bridge.
