Authorities confirmed the collapse of a pedestrian bridge at Florida International University resulting in several fatalities.
Images of the buckled structure at the college in Miami were shared across social media on Thursday afternoon.
The 950‑ton span only went up on Sunday.
Miami‑Dade County Emergency Management confirmed the collapse and urged locals to avoid the area.
It is unclear how many people have been injured on or beneath the bridge, but images from a local reporter show cars trapped beneath the fallen structure.
The Miami Herald said the bridge had long been requested by people at the university so they could avoid the traffic below.
In August 2017, a student was hit and killed by cars while crossing.
