A Singapore-flagged cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge over the Patapsco River in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, causing the bridge to collapse. The incident occurred at 01:35 local time, leading to traffic diversion by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MTA). Details about injuries or casualties remain unknown.
The extent of damage to the cargo ship, named Dali, and the bridge connecting the interstate and ring road is yet to be assessed. The Francis Scott Key Bridge, a 3-kilometer-long, 4-lane structure named after the author of the US national anthem, was opened in 1977.
