Baltimore Bridge Collapse Survivor Reveals What He Had to Do to Stay Alive
The only person to survive the fall into the Patapsco River when a cargo ship crashed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in March described his experience for the first time during an interview Wednesday with NBC News.
Julio Cervantes Suarez was among the seven construction workers who were on the bridge during the moment of impact. All were on their break at the time, and Cervantes Suarez, like some others, was inside his truck.
The 37-year-old said he saw family members, including nephew Carlos Daniel Hernandez and brother-in-law Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, fall into the river.
