A Singaporean-flagged cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on Tuesday, as confirmed by an analysis of MarineTraffic ship-tracking data. The data revealed that the ship altered its course and veered towards a bridge pillar just before the impact occurred.
The incident, which took place at 1:28 a.m. ET, raised questions about the cause of the crash and the flickering of the ship's lights. Authorities are investigating a possible power failure as a contributing factor in the collision.
