“We understand up to 20 individuals may be in the Patapsco River right now as well as multiple vehicles,” Kevin Cartwright of the Baltimore Fire Department told CNN, adding that officials were dealing with a “mass casualty multi-agency incident.”
SaharaReporters earlier reported that a large section of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed into the Patapsco River after being hit by a ship, the authorities in the largest city of the US state of Maryland confirmed earlier.
