United States: A bridge in the city of Baltimore collapses following a ship collided with it
Baltimore city authorities declared the accident a “major casualty incident” and claimed that seven people were missing in the disaster, but so far no official number of injured or killed in the incident has been released. The news network “Fox News” published that two people were pulled from the water following the accident.
According to reports from the local media, several vehicles that were on the bridge fell into the river water as well as a group of construction workers that were on the bridge at the time of the accident.
The vessel that collided with the bridge, a Singaporean container ship named “Dally Adelaide”, collided in 2016 with a pier in the city of Antwerp in Belgium. There were no casualties in the incident, which was caused by a mistake by the vessel’s navigator. The port of Baltimore is the ninth largest port in the United States by volume of marine traffic and may be closed for an extended period following the disaster. were we wrong We will fix it!
