This is the harrowing moment a 1.6-mile bridge in the US collapsed in pieces after a cargo ship ploughed into it.
Footage shows the vessel smashing into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, overnight.
The main span of the steel arch-shaped construction spans the Patapsco River and the outer Baltimore Harbor.
It is reported that at least seven construction workers and an unknown number of vehicles were on the bridge when it collapsed into the water.
The Baltimore mayor said emergency personnel were on scene and rescue efforts were underway.
The ship is believed to be the Singapore-flagged Dali, which left Baltimore at 1am and was bound for Colombo, Sri Lanka.
