Officials said 10 people were injured in the collapse. Four were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. There were no fatalities. The bridge crosses over a popular walking trail in Frick Park, about 10 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh. “There are literally more bridges in Pittsburgh than any other city in the world,” Biden told reporters. “We're going to fix them all.".
