Tracking data shows the path of the Dali container towards the bridge

A container ship has crashed into the landmark Francis Scott Key Bridge near the US city of Baltimore, causing most of it to collapse.

Several vehicles on the bridge at the time plunged into the waters of the River Patapsco. Hours later, the Coast Guard said at least six people were presumed dead.

The Port of Baltimore remains closed to ships and President Joe Biden vowed the federal government will cover "the entire cost" of rebuilding the bridge.
