As salvage efforts continue, authorities also announced late Wednesday they had recovered the body of a fifth person who was missing after the bridge's March 26 collapse, which shut down the port of Baltimore, one of the busiest ports in the country.
At least eight people went into the water. Two were rescued, but the other six — part of a construction crew that had been filling potholes on the bridge — were missing and presumed dead.
Investigators began collecting evidence from the cargo ship that struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The bodies of the two men, ages 35 and 26, were located by divers in the morning inside a red pickup submerged in about 25 feet (7.6 meters) of water near the bridge's middle span, Col. Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent of Maryland State Police, announced at an evening news conference.
