At least seven people are believed to have fallen into the water. The collapse has been called a 'developing mass casualty' by an official at the city's fire department.
A major bridge has collapsed in the US city of Baltimore after it was hit by a cargo ship. Footage shows a large section of the 1.6 mile-long Francis Scott Key Bridge falling into the water following the collision at around 1.30am local time. Baltimore's fire service said emergency teams are searching for at least seven people believed to have fallen into the water.
According to the data, the first ship to arrive around at the scene around 10 minutes later was a tug Eric Mcallister based at the port. It was joined by a second tug Bridget Mcallister and a search and rescue vessel around 25 minutes after the bridge was hit. There are now more than 10 boats involved in the rescue.
