(CNN) — At least 16 people were injured when a pedestrian bridge collapsed into a lake after a July Fourth fireworks show Saturday night in Merrillville, Indiana, authorities said.

“It could not have happened at a worse time,” said Ross Township Fire Marshall Mike Sneiderwine. “The show was over and people were leaving. There were about 100 people on the bridge at the time, and lots of them ended up in the water.” The accident occurred at Hidden Lake Park.
