Cargo ship slams into major bridge in Baltimore, causing cars to plunge into the harbour
Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
A CARGO ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore in the United States early today, causing it to collapse and plunging several vehicles into the river below.
It was not clear how many people might be in the waters of the busy harbour but rescuers pulled two people from the water by mid-morning and searched for more.
But fire chief James Wallace said authorities “may be looking for upwards of seven people” but said that number could change.
