0 56

The entire 22-member crew of the cargo ship that collided with a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below, are Indians, the company said.

“All crew members, including the two pilots, have been accounted for and there are no reports of any injuries. There has also been no pollution,” ship management company Synergy Marine Group said in a statement.

A construction crew working on the bridge sustained casualties, with eight individuals falling into the river’s icy waters, where temperatures measured a chilling 8°C. Of the eight, two were rescued, one unhurt, and another critically injured, leaving six individuals still unaccounted for.
