Two pulled from water after bridge hit by ship in Baltimore collapse
The Francis Scott Key Bridge in the US city of Baltimore has partially collapsed after a container ship collided with it.
Authorities say at least two people have been pulled from Patapsco River after the crash, with one seriously wounded. At least seven are feared to be in the water.
The container vessel (MV Dali) was chartered by shipping company Maersk at the time of the accident, the Danish company said in a statement.
The container vessel was set to depart Baltimore early on Tuesday and arrive at Colombo on April 22, according to a schedule on Maersk’s website.
