The Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed early Tuesday after being struck by a ship, and rescue teams were searching for multiple people believed to have fallen into the Patapsco River, a Baltimore Fire department spokesman confirmed. A cargo ship traveling outbound struck a column of the 1.6-mile-long bridge around 1:30 a.m., said Kevin Cartwright, a fire department spokesman. Two people were rescued, one who required hospitalization, and sonar showed multiple vehicles were submerged.
