Witnesses said it sounded like a bang or an explosion.
A 950-ton pedestrian walkway near a Florida university collapsed on a sunny Thursday afternoon, crushing cars and killing several people, according to officials.
"All of the sudden you hear a loud bang," Jose Mejia, who was having coffee with city officials and police when the bridge near Florida International University's campus gave way, told MSNBC.
"And I looked to one of the command staff and said, ‘Oh my God!’ then they looked at me and they said 'the bridge’ — I say, ‘no, it can’t be!’” Mejia said. “And one of them runs to grab their radio and sure enough, it's the bridge. And at that point we all ran and it was just a horrible scene."
At least 20 cars were crushed, he said, although police only said that multiple vehicles were struck. Authorities confirmed several fatalities.
