CONTEXT NEWS

A major bridge collapsed in the U.S. port of Baltimore early on March 26 after it was struck by a container ship, sending people and cars into the river it spans.

Rescuers had pulled out two survivors by midday and were searching for more. Traffic was suspended at the port until further notice, Maryland transportation authorities said.
