- A member of Brawner Builders survived the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.
- Six other crew members are presumed dead; their bodies have not been recovered.
- The bridge collapse was triggered by a ship collision.
One construction worker has survived the devastating Tuesday morning collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.
Six other workers are presumed dead, however, Jeffrey Pritzker, the executive vice president of Brawner Builders, the workers’ employer, confirmed to Business Insider.
Pritzker did not disclose the names of the workers, who fell into the freezing waters of the 50-foot-deep Patapsco River after a cargo ship crashed into the bridge in Baltimore’s port.

Rescue crews have yet to recover the bodies of the presumed dead workers. The amount of time that has passed and the water’s depth led rescue teams to believe that they were no longer alive, Pritzker told the Associated Press.
