One truck was pulled out from the waters of the Patapsco River on Wednesday following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, while another vehicle remains hanging from the metal, a report says.
The development was reported in a Homeland Security memo that a law enforcement official described to The Associated Press, and comes as Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says divers are still searching the water for the six bodies of construction workers who are presumed dead in the wake of Tuesday’s disaster.
“These divers are in the water right now as we speak. In pitch dark, where they can literally see a foot or two in front of them,” Moore told Fox News earlier this morning. “In cold water temperatures with heavy tides… and so the debt of gratitude our whole state has to these divers and to these first responders, it’s boundless.”
There have been conflicting reports on whether all traffic was off the bridge when it collapsed, or if some vehicles went down with the bridge.
A separate report by Fox5 DC points out that the vehicles found in the river might not be actual traffic on the bridge, but could possibly belong to the workers who were filling potholes on the bridge when the collapse happened.”
The bridge collapsed about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday when a 985-foot cargo ship reportedly lost power and struck one of the main bridge columns. Two of the construction workers on the bridge were rescued from the water immediately after the bridge collapsed. One rescued worker declined treatment, while the other was taken to the hospital, but has since been released.
Details are emerging on the six construction workers now presumed dead, who, according to multiple reports, were all migrants.
ABC News reported:
Among the six missing is construction worker Miguel Luna, who is originally from El Salvador, according to Court Appointed Special Advocates, a group that works with immigrants.
Luna “is a husband, a father of three, and has called Maryland his home for over 19 years,” the organization said in a press release.
He “left at 6:30 p.m. Monday evening for work and since, has not come home,” the organization said.
Two missing workers are from Guatemala: a 26-year-old from San Luis, Petén, and a 35-year-old from Camotán, Chiquimula, the country’s foreign ministry said. Their names were not released.
Miguel Luna, 49, is one of the men missing, his wife María del Carmen Castellón told our sister station Telemundo 44 in Spanish.
“[We feel] devastated, devastated because our heart is broken, because we don’t know if they’ve rescued them yet,“ she said. https://t.co/HFiWldcH3Z pic.twitter.com/1N6lwD5Q9c

NBC News reported: The American Trucking Association estimates 4,900 trucks per day carrying an annual average of $28 billion worth of goods would have to be re-rerouted as a result of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse — at a cost to shippers and ultimately consumers.
