After a bridge collapsed in the US: 2 dead people pulled from the water “Then my eyes went black”: Mother describes the Flixbus accident

After a major highway bridge collapsed when a cargo ship collided with it in the American city of Baltimore, emergency services rescued two dead people from the water.

Maryland State Police announced on Wednesday evening (local time) that divers had found a vehicle in the water in the morning with two people trapped inside. They could only have been found dead.

On Tuesday evening, the US Coast Guard announced that the search for survivors would be suspended due to the low water temperature and the time advanced. The current and debris in the water are dangerous for rescuers. On Wednesday, divers began searching for the bodies of six missing people.

Police said on Wednesday evening that conditions in the water around the huge pieces of debris had become so dangerous that divers could no longer move there safely. All search efforts at the scene were unsuccessful.

A huge container ship rammed the four-lane, more than 2.5 kilometer long highway bridge on Tuesday night (local time), causing it to collapse. According to Maryland Secretary of Transportation Paul Wiedefeld, eight construction workers were repairing potholes on the 1.5-mile bridge at the time of the accident. Two people were rescued on Tuesday, but there has been no trace of six others so far. (sda/dpa)
