In the aftermath of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, a fifth victim's body has been retrieved from the wreckage.

The Key Bridge Response Unified Command reported that the body was discovered following the location of a missing construction vehicle submerged in the Patapsco River, as per FOX 5 Washington DC.

The Maryland Department of State Police was promptly informed by the salvage teams. The deceased was identified as Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, 49, a resident of Glen Burnie.

Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., the Superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, expressed his condolences in a press statement. "We remain dedicated to the ongoing recovery operations while knowing behind each person lost in this tragedy lies a loving family,” he said. “Along with our local, state and federal partners, we ask that everyone extend their deepest sympathies and support to the families during this difficult time.”
