Biden said on the scene that they were going to fix them all and that they were sending the money.

Hours before Biden's visit to Pittsburgh to promote the infrastructure plan that was signed into law, an accident occurred.
The infrastructure plan was unveiled by Biden in Pittsburgh.
The spending package will give Pennsylvania a third-highest amount of money to invest in bridges.
$27 billion will be spent on bridges across the country.
3,353. That's how many bridges were rated in poor condition in Pennsylvania, the second most after Iowa, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
The accident did not cause any deaths, but 10 people were injured and three of them were hospitalized. There were firefighters on the scene of the accident. Rescuers formed a human chain to get to the site of the collapse to help people in the bus.
