Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: six missing now presumed dead, police say

Authorities say accident sent vehicles and workers into river as Biden promises to fund rebuilding of crucial structure

Maryland state police say the six people who were missing after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed Tuesday in Baltimore, Maryland, are now presumed dead.

Authorities said the accident sent a number of vehicles and eight construction workers into the Patapsco River. Two people were rescued on Tuesday, but Jeffrey Pritzker, a senior executive at Brawner Builders, the employer of the construction workers, said the other six were presumed dead, given the water's depth and the length of time since the crash.
