Six construction workers are presumed dead after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland on Tuesday, Politico reported, citing Jeffrey Pritzker, executive vice president of Brawner Builders, the company that employed the workers.
Eight construction workers were repairing potholes on the bridge at the time it was struck by a container ship, causing it to collapse. Two of the workers were found, with one suffering serious injuries.
The remaining six were presumed dead due to the depth of the water and the amount of time that had passed since the incident.
