A high-ranking official from the company employing the construction workers missing after the collapse of a Baltimore bridge states that six employees are assumed dead, with one hospitalized.
Jeffrey Pritzker, Executive Vice President of Brawner Builders, explains that the crew was on the bridge when a cargo ship struck it, causing it to collapse.
He mentions that despite ongoing search efforts, the workers’ bodies remain unrecovered due to the depth of the water and the time elapsed since the incident.
Pritzker expresses shock, emphasizing the company’s commitment to safety measures but acknowledges the unforeseen nature of the bridge collapse.
