A third victim of the dramatic bridge collapse in the United States has been found and identified. The remains of a 38-year-old man, one of the road workers who worked on the bridge, were found by divers on Friday, the Washington Post writes.

Two victims have previously been found and identified, but according to the local authorities, three people are still missing.

“I can promise you that we are fully focused on getting closure for these families,” said Roland L Butler of the Baltimore Police Department.

It was on March 27 that a cargo ship rammed a bridge foundation on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing 800 meters of the bridge to collapse.
