The bodies of Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes from Mexico and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera from Guatemala have been recovered from a red pick-up truck in the Patapsco River after the Frances Scott Key Bridge collapsed. Four people are still missing and presumed dead, with recovery efforts suspended due to dangerous conditions. The victims, part of a crew filling potholes on the bridge, included workers from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Sonar vehicles indicate the remaining vehicles are likely encased in concrete from the collapsed structures.
