US Bridge Collapse: The Baltimore accident occured on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

US President Joe Biden praised local authorities for their prompt action during the accident at Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore<\/a>, one of the nation’s busiest arteries that collapsed hours on Tuesday after being struck by a massive freight ship. He also made a special mention to the crew of the ship, all of whom were Indians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Personnel on board the ship were able to alert the Maryland Department of Transportation that they had lost control of their vessel, as you all know and have reported.\u00a0 As a result, local authorities were able to close the bridge to traffic before the bridge was struck, which undoubtedly saved lives,” Biden said in his address<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We’re incredibly grateful for the brave rescuers who immediately rushed to the scene,” the US President added.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the Singapore-flagged container ship Dali, departing Baltimore with a full cargo en route to Sri Lanka, crashed into a concrete pier supporting the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

Within seconds almost the entire bridge collapsed<\/a> and plunged into what officials said was roughly 50 feet of frigid water below.<\/p>\n
