"Red Cross has been contacted for victim assistance," the Pittsburgh Public Safety department tweeted.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman told CNN that he lives near collapse site and has driven over the bridge"thousands of times." He said the bridge fell about 60 feet onto a walking trail below, giving emergency workers an easy path to access those in need of rescue. Still, weather played a role in the response, and some responders were injured while trying to help in the icy conditions, officials said.
A strong natural gas odor was detected after the collapse, and a gas line has since been cut, authorities said. Some residents were evacuated from their homes.We are monitoring the situation in Pittsburgh and prepared to provide support as needed.
