MIAMI (WTXL) - The parents of a woman killed in last month's South Florida bridge collapse, file a lawsuit against several companies connected to the tragedy.

Florida International University freshman Alexa Duran was driving her SUV under the bridge when it came crashing down.

She was one of six people killed, and her parents are the sixth family to file a lawsuit.

The bridge collapse was followed by details about pre-existing concerns regarding the bridge's 'structural integrity'.

FIU revealed that a discussion had occurred about a crack in the bridge just hours before it collapsed.
