FIU bridge collapses; fatalities reported, Florida officials say.
Several fatalities were reported after a newly installed pedestrian bridge at Florida International University collapsed Thursday, leaving eight vehicles trapped underneath the sprawling wreckage.
Florida Highway Patrol confirmed to Fox News there were several fatalities after the structure, called the “Instant Bridge,” collapsed just around 1:30 p.m. at the Miami-area university.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those involved.
