5th Key Bridge Victim Found Dead In Baltimore, Identified As Glen Burnie Road Worker

BALTIMORE, MD — Crews on Wednesday recovered the body of a fifth victim of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore.

Officials identified the victim as 49-year-old Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez of Glen Burnie. Luna migrated from El Salvador 19 years ago, immigrant rights advocacy group CASA said.

Authorities announced the news Wednesday around 11:30 p.m.

One victim remains unaccounted for and is presumed dead. All six victims were road workers on the Key Bridge when the cargo ship Dali lost power and crashed into it on March 26.

The disaster has also closed the Port of Baltimore to most shipping activity. Estimates say at least 1,000 people are out of work, dealing an economic blow to the state. Port traffic is slowly returning as smaller, alternate channels reopen.

“We remain dedicated to the ongoing recovery operations while knowing behind each person lost in this tragedy lies a loving family,” Maryland Department of State Police Superintendent Col. Roland L. Butler Jr. said in a press release. “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.”

Salvage teams spotted one of the missing construction vehicles underwater and notified the Maryland Department of State Police.

Authorities said they found Gonzalez inside a red truck.

Maryland State Police investigators, Maryland Transportation Authority Police officers and FBI agents responded to the scene. The Maryland State Police Underwater Recovery Team and Crime Scene Unit also assisted.

The fourth victim's body was recovered on April 14. At the family's request, officials have not yet released that victim's name.

Divers on April 5 pulled the body of a third missing road crew worker, 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval of northwestern Honduras.

Two men's bodies were found in a pickup truck on March 27: 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes of Baltimore and 26-year-old Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera of Dundalk.

Carlos Hernández and Jose Mynor Lopez were the two missing victims, media reports said.

The group of workers hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
