It was not immediately clear how many people were on the span — the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which is part of Interstate 695 — when the cargo ship struck. Baltimore’s fire chief, James Wallace, told a news conference that officials were searching for “upwards of seven people” and that two others had been pulled from the water. One of them was in serious condition. He said the fire department had used sonar to detect vehicles that fell into the water.
