On early Tuesday, several vehicles fell into a river after a ship called Dali hit a pillar of a bridge in Maryland. At least seven people were missing, and rescuers were searching for them. Maryland state Sen. Johnny Ray Salling, who is from the area, said that the bridge is essential for both transportation and commerce.
The ship was under the control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists. They help navigate vessels safely into ports. Synergy Marine Group, which owns and manages the ship, confirmed the incident. However, all the crew members, including the two pilots, were accounted for, and there were no reports of any injuries.
As the sun rose on Tuesday, the remnants of the bridge were visible above the water surface. The on-ramp ended abruptly where the span once began.
