Bridge collapse at Florida International University, March 15, 2018.
A newly-installed pedestrian bridge has collapsed at Florida International University in the Miami area, and Florida Highway Patrol officials have confirmed several fatalities to local NBC News affiliate WTVJ.
The 950-ton span fell Thursday afternoon at the university's main Miami-area campus. Video shows that vehicles underneath the bridge were hit.
So far, five patients are being treated by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. One of them was transported to trauma alert at Kendall Regional Hospital, WTVJ reports.
The 30 foot wide, 174-foot long bridge was set to open in early 2019 to allow students on bike and foot to cross the busy roadway safely. The bridge was made possible by a $19.4 million project grant, partially funded by the Department of Transportation, according to WTVJ.
