At least six people are missing after the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a major road bridge in Baltimore, collapsed overnight when a container ship collided with one of its pillars, officials said. The Singaporean-flagged cargo ship, the Dali, was leaving the Port of Baltimore when it crashed into the bridge around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, Baltimore City Fire Chief James Wallace said at an early morning news conference.
Wes Moore said Tuesday morning. The FBI said that there is 'no specific and credible information to suggest any ties to terrorism at this time.' Moore had earlier declared a state of emergency. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has also offered his support to Maryland and Baltimore officials. Wiedefeld said that construction workers on the bridge at the time of impact were fixing potholes, not making repairs to the structure of the bridge.
