A video posted on X showed a large vessel crashed into the bridge, catching on fire and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below.
The vessel Zhen Hua 13, carrying four giant shipping cranes for delivery and installation at the Port of Baltimore, passes under the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Wednesday, June 20, 2012. The cranes, which are the largest of their kind in the shipping industry, weigh about 1,550 metric tons each and can lift over 187,000 pounds of cargo.
“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X. Emergency responders were searching for at least seven people believed to be in the water, Kevin Cartwright, director of communications for the Baltimore Fire Department, told The Associated Press around 3 a.m.
