A large boat collision caused a section of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore to collapse, with multiple vehicles falling into the Patapsco River. Emergency responders are working to rescue at least twenty individuals. The vessel caught fire before sinking, complicating rescue efforts. Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency, deploying federal resources. Investigations are ongoing as authorities assess the extent of the damage. Mayor Brandon M. Scott and Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. confirmed emergency personnel are on-site conducting rescue operations. The Francis Scott Key Bridge, opened in 1977, remains closed in both directions.
