The collision set off a rapid search-and-rescue operation. Eight people from a construction crew that was working to repair potholes on the bridge are thought to have fallen into the water, Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld told reporters. Two had been rescued as of Tuesday morning, Wiedefeld said, but six others remained unaccounted for.
"Response teams are doing everything in our power to rescue and recover the victims of this collapse literally as we speak," Maryland Governor Wes Moore said.
Authorities did not believe any drivers were submerged in their cars, Wiedefeld said.
