A newly installed pedestrian bridge over a six-lane highway in Miami on a college campus collapsed on Thursday, crushing a number of cars below and reportedly leaving several people dead.
The Miami Herald reported that an unknown number of people were trapped underneath the collapsed walkway, which connected Florida International University to a student housing area and was erected less than a week ago.
The Florida Highway Patrol said several people were killed, according to US networks. Emergency vehicles and police cars swarmed the area.
“The cars were completely crushed,” Isabella Carrasco, who said she arrived on the scene just after the collapse, told CNN.
