Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore

A devastating incident unfolded on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, where a construction crew faced a fatal accident. Among the victims is Miguel Luna, a dedicated worker from El Salvador and a cherished member of the CASA organization.

According to CASA, Miguel Luna, a husband and father of three, has been missing since leaving for work on Monday evening. His absence has left a void in the hearts of his loved ones and the community he has called home for nearly two decades.

Expressing profound sorrow, CASA's executive director, Gustavo Torres, mourned the loss of Luna and his fellow workers. The organization is extending humanitarian support to the affected families as they grapple with the tragedy and seek information about their missing relatives.

Tragically, six individuals, including Luna, are presumed dead following the bridge collapse. The victims, believed to be part of the construction crew, hail from various countries, with two workers from Guatemala and others from Mexico.

The entire Baltimore region is in mourning, with the CASA family standing in solidarity with the impacted families. The US Coast Guard has ceased active rescue operations, marking a somber conclusion to the search for survivors.

As the community grieves the loss of these individuals and the harrowing nature of the accident, the focus remains on providing support and assistance to those affected by this devastating event.
