Maryland police: 'Divers recovered 2 victims' at scene of bridge collapse
At Wednesday evening's press conference in Baltimore, Col. Roland Butler Jr. of the Maryland State Police said that two bodies had been recovered at the site of Tuesday night's collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Butler said dive teams "made a tragic finding" shortly before 10 a.m., spotting a red pickup truck in 25 feet of water.
"Divers recovered two victims of this tragedy trapped within the vehicle," Butler said.
Butler identified them as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, of Mexico, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, of Guatemala, and said that their families had been notified.
The Baltimore Banner was the first to report that the bodies of two people had been recovered at the scene.
