A creepy footage has emerged showing moments after the collapse of a pedestrian bridge that crushed six people to death Miami

They were killed yesterday when the newly-constructed structure fell onto traffic waiting at a set of lights.

Death toll rises to six after Miami bridge collapse onto queuing traffic An investigation is now taking place into how the bridge, which was put up in just six hours, failed in such a spectacular way.

Initially, it was reported that four people had been killed in the collapse, but that figure was later increased to six.

Another nine people were taken to hospital in the incident, but their condition is currently unknown.

The ‘instant bridge’ was described as a feat of engineering on Saturday morning but was not yet open to people to cross.

It was said that the bridge would last 100 years and could withstand the strongest of hurricanes. Governor Rick Scott also spoke to reporters, saying ‘everybody is working hard to make sure we rescue anyone who can be rescued’.

The Florida governor added that an exhaustive investigation now beginning will get to the bottom of ‘why this happened and what happened’ and vowed that anyone who did anything wrong would be held accountable.

Miami-Dade police director Juan Perez praised the actions of first responders during a news conference but acknowledged the likelihood of finding more victims under the rubble was growing more difficult with the passage of time.

‘We know that there’s going to be a negative outcome at the end of the day,’ Mr Perez said.
