The bodies of two people have been recovered from a red pickup truck which was submerged under the waters where the Baltimore bridge collapsed
An operation to recover the bodies of four more people presumed dead continues, after a container ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the US city
Two victims of the collision have been named as construction workers who were filling potholes on the bridge when it was struck
Investigators have boarded the Singapore-flagged Dali and recovered its data recorder – similar to a black box, officials say
The US Coast Guard says more than 1.5 million gallons of fuel oil and cargo containing hazardous materials are on the ship, but there is no danger to the public
All 21 crew members, who are all Indian nationals and were not hurt in the crash, are still on board
The bridge snapped and plunged into the Patapsco River on Tuesday, about 01:30 ET (05:30 GMT), after the Dali container ship crashed into it
The vessel had lost power and issued a distress call moments before – but could not change course in time to avoid crashing into the bridge
President Biden has said the US government would cover the entire cost of rebuilding the bridge, but it’s not clear how long this will take.
