Fire pours from garbage truck, shuts down Liberty Bridge
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A large plume of black smoke billowed into the sky above the Liberty Bridge when a garbage truck caught fire Tuesday afternoon.
The truck was crossing the bridge on the outbound side when the fire erupted.
It's unclear right now what caused the fire.
The situation caused traffic issues in the city, but the bridge and tunnel have since reopened.
Firefighters needed to move the garbage truck. After that, inspectors came in to examine the bridge and deemed it was safe and there was no structural damage.
