The U.S. Justice Department announces new federal indictments tied to the March 2024 collision that destroyed Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. According to the reports, a grand jury indicts two foreign companies connected to the operation of the cargo ship Dali, which struck the bridge and led to the bridge’s collapse. The incidents also involve a shoreside supervisor, identified in one account as a superintendent, who is also indicted in connection with the crash. The Justice Department states the Dali is a 984-foot cargo ship and that the collision results in the deaths of six construction workers. The indictments are presented as criminal cases arising from the events surrounding the bridge failure, with the federal government moving forward against corporate entities and an individual connected to shoreside operations. The reports do not provide additional details about the specific charges, the companies’ identities, or the legal allegations beyond the fact that the indictments were issued by a federal grand jury and relate to the 2024 collision and bridge destruction.
