Baltimore bridge collapses after collision with cargo ship

YEREVAN, MARCH 26, ARMENPRESS. A cargo ship struck a bridge that crosses outer Baltimore Harbor early Tuesday, triggering a collapse, the New York Times reports, citing the authorities.

The Coast Guard received a report of an impact at 1:27 a.m. Eastern time at the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

It’s unclear if anyone was injured.

According to the report, an officer from the Coast Guard said that a Singapore-flagged cargo ship, the Dali, had hit the bridge. 

The bridge — named after Francis Scott Key, the author of the American national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner” — opened in 1977.
