Baltimore Bridge Collapses Following Ship Collision, Viral Video Captures Incident

Early Tuesday, a major bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being hit by a large ship, triggering havoc as cars and people plummeted into the river.

As rescuers hunted for survivors, Maryland’s governor issued a state of emergency.

The ship, named the Dali, crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge around 1:30 a.m., breaking the structure and causing it to collapse into the Patapsco River.

A viral video captured the dramatic moment of impact, showing the ship hitting the bridge and then catching fire.

Rescue efforts began immediately, with authorities initially looking for seven people in the river. Two have been rescued so far, but the exact number of casualties remains unclear.

The Dali has a history of accidents, including a collision with a port wall in Belgium in 2016. The cause of Tuesday’s crash is still under investigation.

Synergy Marine Group, the company managing the Dali, has launched an investigation into the incident and confirmed that there were no injuries among the crew.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and Maryland Governor Wes Moore have both pledged support for rescue efforts and declared a state of emergency to facilitate federal assistance.
