New dash cam footage captured moment of Miami bridge collapse

HEART-STOPPING dash cam footage has emerged of last week’s Miami bridge collapse, showing the deadly incident from the point of view of the drivers.

A HEART-STOPPING video taken on the dash cam of a car captured the moment the Florida International University bridge collapsed on top of traffic last week, killing six people.

In the footage a man can be seen walking on the top left corner of the bridge just seconds before it comes tumbling down, showing him falling to the ground where he disappears into the rubble.

Several drivers can be seen getting out of their car and rushing towards the bridge to help those caught in the collapse.
