At least one large vehicle is still submerged under the murky Patapsco River, the Secretary of the Maryland State Police, Col. Roland L. Butler, Jr., said Thursday night.
Officials said they believed the vehicle belonged to the crew that was working on the bridge at the time of the collapse.
Pieces of the bridge, concrete and rebar also are in the water, Butler said.
“It’s going to take some time to get to that and it’s going to take some time to do carefully, and then to shore that up before we can put an end to recovering whatever’s in that vehicle,” Butler said.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott told reporters Thursday night he remains hopeful that the four victims who are still missing will be recovered.
“We remain hopeful that in the course of this salvage work, we are able to recover those who remain missing and bring them home,” Scott said.
