Missing workers presumed dead following Key Bridge collapse

BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Amid search efforts following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge Tuesday, the employer of the construction crew working on the bridge at the time of the collapse said the six individuals unaccounted for are presumed dead. The Coast Guard has confirmed that the six individuals are presumed dead.

Jeff Pritzker, the Executive Vice President for Brawner Builders, said they had a crew of seven working on the bridge doing routine concrete work and filling potholes.

"Unfortunately six of them have apparently perished, one of them survived," Pritzker said.
