At approximately 1:30 ET (5:30 GMT), the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD was struck by the Singapore-flagged container ship Dali. The bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River below and triggered a mass casualty event. Rescue crews are on scene.
The bridge is named after Francis Scott Key, the author of the American national anthem, “Star-Spangled Banner.” It is believed that the bridge was within 100 yards of where Key wrote the song.
