The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:
The bridge that carries Forbes Avenue through Frick Park collapsed in Pittsburgh early Friday morning. It was unclear if anyone was injured. Pittsburgh Public Safety tweeted that updates on possible injuries would come later Friday morning.
A photo from Post-Gazette news partner KDKA-TV showed at least four vehicles that had fallen into the chasm left by the collapsed bridge, with another vehicle dangling precariously over the edge.
Port Authority confirmed that one of its 60-foot articulated buses was trapped on a slab of the remnants of the bridge that fell into the ravine. Agency spokesman Adam Brandolph said the bus driver and two passengers were able to escape and no one was injured.
