Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, collapsed early this morning after it was struck by a large container ship. The 1.6-mile bridge, which crosses the Patapsco River and is part of Interstate 695, broke to pieces and fell into the river below. Several vehicles were plunged into the water; two people have been rescued and crews continue to search for others. An estimated 11.5 million vehicles crossed the bridge annually in recent years.
