A 160-year-old piece of local history was severely damaged when a fallen tree crushed the middle of Knox Covered Bridge in Valley Forge National Historical Park. Officials say no one was injured when the bridge was hit, but local hiker Chris Prendergast might have been one of the last ones to safely cross. Prendergast, a Malvern resident, told FOX 29 he crossed the bridge about an hour before it collapsed, and returned to find it not passable.
"I thought it absolutely could have crushed somebody, totally bizarre, I never think twice about using ," Prendergast said.
