There are six men presumed dead in this horrible catastrophe. Thanks to the quick work of the Baltimore Police, cars were removed from the bridge before its collapse. Sadly, six construction workers who were filling potholes remained on the bridge. They were hardworking men with families who hail from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, some of whom have lived here for nearly twenty years.
