Pittsburgh Public Safety alerted the public to the collapse just before 7 am on January 28.

Local media reported that 10 people were injured – three of whom were taken to a hospital. Several vehicles and a Pittsburgh Port Authority bus were involved in the collapse. The three people hospitalized were passengers on the bus, according to local reports.

The collapse came hours before President Joe Biden was due to visit the city to discuss infrastructure.
