A large four-lane Baltimore bridge collapsed in darkness early Tuesday after it was smashed by a 948-foot container ship.

According to Maryland’s transportation secretary Paul Wiedefeld, six people were missing after the event at the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Two people were successfully rescued, with one transported to a hospital in serious condition. The bridge in Baltimore carries Interstate 695 across the Patapsco River, southeast of the metropolitan area.

The missing people may have fallen into the water. They are believed to be the construction crew who were repairing the bridge’s potholes.

Vessel traffic into and out of the Port of Baltimore has been suspended since authorities are conducting an active search and rescue mission.

In a press briefing, Baltimore City Fire Department Chief James W. Wallace said it was a large incident and involved a very large footprint.

Wallace also explained sonar scans detected the occurrence of submerged vehicles, but it couldn’t disclose the number of cars involved.

The FBI and Maryland officials said there is no indication to suggest the collapse of a Baltimore bridge was a result of terrorism.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore explained, “The preliminary investigation points to an accident.” Around 35,000 people use the Francis Scott Key Bridge every day.

Drivers in the area will need to use Baltimore Harbor and Fort McHenry tunnels to commute for the foreseeable future.
