"A major bridge in the US city of Baltimore has collapsed into the Patapsco River after a container ship crashed into it. The bridge snapped and plunged into the water at around 01:30 ET (05:30 GMT) along with vehicles and people.
A huge search operation is under way for at least 7 people, authorities say; while two people have been pulled from the water. The ship is now wedged into debris from the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which is 3km (1.6 miles) long, part of a major highway."
