The victim, Jose Mynor Lopez, 37, was a member of a work crew that had been filling potholes on the bridge when it was struck on March 26 by the Dali, a container ship on its way to Sri Lanka that apparently lost power after leaving the Port of Baltimore.
With heavy hearts, today marks a significant milestone in our recovery efforts and providing closure to the loved ones of the six workers who lost their lives in this tragic event, Col. Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Dali, which was carrying 4,700 shipping containers when it left the port, is still sitting under an enormous piece of the bridge in the Patapsco River. The authorities have announced a goal of restoring full access to the channel by the end of May.
