An inspector who was contracted by the state of Maryland with an engineering firm overseeing work was among the victims who fell into the water following the Key Bridge collapse, as confirmed by Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul J. Wiedefeld.
The Key Bridge collapse incident occurred during a routine inspection of the bridge, which connects the state of Maryland with Virginia. The inspector, who was on-site as part of the engineering firm's oversight responsibilities, tragically became one of the individuals affected by the collapse.
