A major bridge in the US city of Baltimore has almost entirely collapsed after being struck by a cargo ship, sending multiple vehicles and up to 20 people plunging into the harbour below.
Dramatic footage shows a container ship hitting a footing of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, sending the steel-built structure into the Patapsco River.
Lights from what appear to be vehicles can be seen on the road surface as the bridge warps and crashes in sections, with the third tranche cantilevering upwards before it, too, tumbles into the water.
