The US authorities reported this Monday that a new body of the victims of the accident on the Baltimore bridge, in which six workers of Latin American origin died, has been found.
The statement from the command that coordinates these efforts noted that, at the request of the family, it will not offer the identity of that person, which brings the number of bodies recovered since the event, which occurred on March 26, to four. .
Besides. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened a criminal investigation into the Dali ship accident, US officials reported to the Washington Post on Monday.
Officials boarded the container ship that crashed and brought down the Baltimore Harbor Bridge. “The FBI is present aboard the Dali ship and conducts court-authorized law enforcement activity,” a spokesperson for that agency in Baltimore, Maryland, said in a statement.
The Dali, a 300-meter-long ship flying the Singapore flag, was leaving the port of Baltimore bound for Sri Lanka when it collided in the early hours of March 26 with one of the pillars in the central segment of the bridge over the Patapso River. .
Six workers performing maintenance on the bridge died in the bridge fall and the investigation has been led by the National Transportation Safety Board (NSTB), an independent government agency.
The intervention of the FBI indicates that the investigation is looking for possible criminal causes in the fatal accident.
