According to the authorities, the persons found were citizens of Mexico and Guatemala.
The bodies of two people have been found following the bridge accident in Baltimore, USA on Tuesday, said the head of the Maryland state police at a press conference early Thursday Finnish time.
According to the authorities, the persons found were citizens of Mexico and Guatemala. They were found in a vehicle that had sunk to the bottom of the river almost eight meters deep.
A cargo ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning, sending several cars into the Patapsco River. Rescue workers rescued two people from the water on Tuesday. According to the authorities, one of the rescued was taken to hospital in critical condition, but was released on Wednesday.
Four people are still missing after the accident. They are all believed to have died in the crash. The police said they were suspending the search for the missing due to dangerous conditions. The divers’ search has been hampered by the debris of the bridge in the river, which must be removed before continuing the search.
The police believe that the rest of the missing have been trapped with their vehicles in the river under the collapsed bridge structures.
