US indicts two companies, and an individual in 2024 collapse of Baltimore Key Bridge
by Reuters May 12, 2026
The U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday a grand jury indicted two companies and an individual in the March 2024 collision of the 984-foot cargo ship Dali that destroyed Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, killing six construction workers and destroying the span.
The Justice Department said the collision caused billions of dollars in damage and significant environmental damage. The National Transportation Safety Board found a single loose wire in the electrical system caused a breaker to unexpectedly open, launching a sequence of events that led to two vessel blackouts and a loss of propulsion and steering.
