Fifth worker’s body discovered month after fall of the Baltimore bridge

Officials have found the body of the fifth person who went missing after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed over a month ago.

The officials said they found the person who passed away on Wednesday. His name was Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, he was 49 years old and lived in Glen Burnie, Maryland.

Six workers fixing the road fell and died on March 26 because a big ship lost power and hit the bridge’s pillar. Five bodies have been found, but one worker named Jose Mynor Lopez is still missing. They were all people from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras who moved to the United States.

Workers found one of the missing construction trucks on Wednesday and told the Maryland State Police about it, according to officials. The state police, Maryland Transportation Authority Police, and the FBI went to the place and found a dead body in a red truck. The underwater police team and the crime scene unit helped too.

“We are committed to continuing the recovery efforts, and we are aware that each person lost in this tragedy has a loving family,” said Roland Butler, Maryland State Police Superintendent. “We are asking everyone to show their support and condolences to the families during this tough time, along with our local, state, and national partners. ”

The Dali container ship has been stuck in the wreckage since it collapsed, but crews are going to lift it up and take it away so that more ships can start using Baltimore’s port again. According to a Port of Baltimore news release, officials think they will have it taken away by May 10th.
