A team from the National Transportation Safety Board was at the scene Monday as crews siphoned gasoline and brought in cranes to lift five vehicles and a municipal bus off the crumpled remains of a bridge in Pittsburgh that collapsed last week.

By late afternoon the bus had been pulled out of the ravine, attached to a crane by three straps. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said on Monday that the showed deterioration during a September inspection that was not bad enough to require its closure.

There were no fatalities in the collapse, but a few people required hospital treatment, and as of Monday one adult was still getting care inside a UPMC facility, a hospital system spokesperson said.
