The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, experienced a catastrophic collapse early on March 26, 2024.
The incident occurred after a large container ship named Dali, registered in Singapore, collided with the bridge.
The ship was en route to Colombo, Sri Lanka when it struck the bridge’s support structure, leading to a significant section of the bridge crumbling.
As of now, it remains unclear whether anyone was injured during this unfortunate event.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge, spanning 1.6 miles and consisting of four lanes, extends over the Patapsco River. It serves as a crucial link for Interstate 695, also known as the Baltimore Beltway, and is the outermost crossing of the Baltimore harbor. Authorities are currently detouring traffic away from the affected area.
This incident has caused significant disruption and concern, and emergency responders are actively assessing the situation. We’ll continue to monitor updates as they become available.
