Collapse of bridge in Baltimore, USA after being hit by cargo ship, suspected 20

20 citizens are suspected to have drowned after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, USA.

"We are managing a mass casualty incident," said Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore City Fire Department.

"Unfortunately, we understand that there are up to 20 people who may be in the Patapsco River as well as multiple vehicles," he told CNN.

Cartwright said they are working with the US Coast Guard and a team of divers are in the river for search and rescue operations, with temperatures around the harbor around 30 °F (-1 °C).
