Baltimore’s Chesapeake Bay Bridge Collapses After Collision with Cargo Ship

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday after a collision with a cargo ship.

Two individuals have been rescued from the waters, while seven members of a road repair crew remain missing. Emergency responders are using sonar to locate submerged vehicles. Baltimore police confirm no evidence of intentional collision by the cargo ship.

Mayor Brendon Scott declares a mass casualty incident, with up to 20 individuals possibly in the river. The bridge’s collapse impacts crucial shipping lanes, potentially causing regional supply chain disruptions. Baltimore, the ninth-largest port in the U.S., faces significant cargo delays following the incident.
