A container ship crashed into the structure at around 01:30am ET, causing a section of the 1.6-mile, four-lane bridge to tumble into the Patapsco River.

Footage of the incident was captured by a live webcam.

Authorities have declared a “mass casualty event” with seven people feared to be in the water and desperate rescue efforts currently under way in a race against the clock.

Multiple cars are thought to have been crossing over the bridge at the time, including one the size of a tractor-trailer.
