Horror In Baltimore As Major Bridge Collapses After Collision

The Francis Scott Key Bridge on Interstate 695 in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday after being struck by a ship, causing a number of vehicles to plunge into the Patapsco River below.

Two people have been rescued from the water, said James Wallace, fire chief of Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD), at a morning press conference. One person was uninjured and refused treatment while the other was transported to a local trauma center and is in “very serious condition.”

Footage shared on social media showed the moment of the collapse, just before 1:30 a.m. local time.
