PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – The couple hurt when their pickup truck crashed down with the Fern Hollow Bridge is suing the city of Pittsburgh, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Port Authority of Allegheny County. Tyrone and Velva Perry, both 69, took a different route than usual on Jan. 28 because of snow and ended up on the bridge when it collapsed. They had been on their way to care for Tyrone’s 93-year-old mother. While they have both been released from the hospital, the couple’s daughter told our news partners at Channel 11 News they were each in the ICU for one day with fractured vertebrae. Attorneys said they are “now in body braces with impaired movement and extreme pain.” The Perrys’ attorneys said notices of intent to sue were sent on Wednesday. “With no warning, the bridge collapsed, dropping the Perrys and the vehicle approximately 100 feet down into the hollow. Other vehicles fell off the bridge immediately afterwards, narrowly missing the Perrys on the ground below. One of those vehicles was a very large commuter bus,” a news release from the attorneys stated. The notices of intent to sue, according to the attorneys, are to inform the agencies of the “serious harm” the couple suffered and to insist that parties responsible for the maintenance of bridges and highways “act now and with vigor to prevent this kind of disaster from happening again.”
