SAN DIEGO (AP) ? The nation's busiest border crossing has reopened to pedestrians, nearly eight hours after scaffolding collapsed on more than a dozen cars and injured 11 people.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the San Ysidro border crossing connecting San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, remains closed to motorists. The agency gave no estimate of when vehicle lanes would reopen.
Pedestrian traffic resumed at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The crossing was closed to all U.S.-bound traffic after the scaffolding fell. About 50,000 vehicles and 25,000 pedestrians enter the country each day at San Ysidro.
