BALTIMORE (AP) – A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed after a large boat collided with it early Tuesday morning.

Around 1:30 a.m., a large vessel crashed into the bridge, catching on fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.
