Here’s what we know.
A major bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being struck by a cargo ship early Tuesday, setting off an emergency response, the Coast Guard and the local authorities said.
It was not immediately clear how many people were on the span, the Francis Scott Key Bridge, when the cargo ship made impact, or what happened to them. The bridge is part of Interstate 695, an outer crossing of Baltimore Harbor.
