Baltimore bridge collapse: Mass casualty event after ship crashes into Key Bridge

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, collapsed early Tuesday morning after a cargo ship rammed into one of the supports for the structure.

The bridge collapsed at approximately 1:30 a.m. Eastern time in what officials on Tuesday called a “catastrophic collapse.” Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said there are six people still unaccounted for as of Tuesday morning and that two have been rescued — one of whom was hospitalized.
