The search for six victims in the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse resumed Wednesday, in the frigid water of the Patapsco River.
BALTIMORE -- The search resumed Wednesday morning for six people missing and presumed dead in the wake of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The bridge crumbled early Tuesday after a support column was hit by a large container ship that had lost power, sending people and vehicles into the Patapsco River.Search and rescue operations were suspended at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday as officials transitioned to recovery efforts.
One of the victims has been identified by a nonprofit organization, and three South American nations indicated missing citizens but stopped short of identifying them as victims. The nonprofit organization CASA identified one of the missing workers as Miguel Luna, a man from El Salvador who was a father of three. Guatemala's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said two of the missing workers were from that country. One was 26 years old and the other was 35 years old, according to the ministry.
