Body of two victims of Baltimore bridge collapse recovered
The bodies of two of the workers who went missing when a bridge in Baltimore collapsed after a cargo ship crashed into it have been recovered, authorities have said.
A cargo ship rammed into one of the support pillars of the four-lane Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, about 62 kilometres north-east of Washington, around 1:30 am (0530 GMT) on Tuesday morning, causing it to collapse.
Maryland State Police's Roland Butler said that on Wednesday morning divers located a red pick up truck about 7 metres deep and found the bodies of two victims trapped in the vehicle. They were identified a 35-year-old Mexico national and a 26-year-old Guatemala national.
Authorities said they were moving from recovery mode to salvage operation.
On Tuesday afternoon authorities had said that six construction workers who went missing when the bridge collapsed were all presumed dead.
