Officials in Baltimore have recovered the body of a fifth construction worker following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.

According to BBC News, the body of 49-year-old Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez is the latest to be pulled from the waters below the bridge which fell after a ship collided with it.

Eight workers were on the bridge on March 26th when it was struck by the Dali container vessel.

Two workers were rescued on the day and five bodies have been recovered since then – the search continues for the sixth.

The incident is the subject of a criminal investigation by the FBI, which is looking into the circumstances that led to the crash.

A separate probe is under way by the National Transportation Safety Board.
