Officials have recovered two bodies from the waters where the Baltimore bridge collapsed.

Maryland State Police identified 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and 26-year-old Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera as the two workers recovered by divers from inside a red pickup truck.

BBC News says Mr Fuentes is originally from Mexico and Mr Cabrera is from Guatemala.

Eight construction workers were on the bridge when a ship collided with it – two of workers were rescued on the day, but the search continues for the other four – all presumed dead.

Salvage crews are working to address hazardous materials and accident investigators are on the scene.
