Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: six missing now presumed dead, police say
Maryland state police say the six people who were missing after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed Tuesday in Baltimore, Maryland, are now presumed dead.
Authorities said the accident sent a number of vehicles and eight construction workers into the Patapsco River. Two people were rescued on Tuesday, but Jeffrey Pritzker, a senior executive at Brawner Builders, the employer of the construction workers, said the other six were presumed dead, given the water’s depth and the length of time since the crash.
Maryland officials are in agreement and say that the recovery effort will continue tomorrow morning with a team of divers.
Pritzker said the crew had been working in the middle of the bridge when it came apart. No bodies have been recovered.
