The 1.6 mile-long bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, has collapsed after it was hit by a cargo ship.

Videos from a live stream of the bridge showed several of its spans collapsing after it was struck by the cargo ship.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” Maryland Transportation Authority said in a post on X.

Baltimore police and the city’s fire department did not respond to a request for comment.
