Baltimore bridge collapse: First missing construction worker named as Miguel Luna

One of the missing workers from El Salvador was identified as Miguel Luna by the non-profit organisation Casa, which provides services to the immigrant community in Baltimore.

He is among the six construction workers who fell into the Patapsco River, all of whom are presumed dead.

The men were working for Brawner Builders filling potholes on the road bridge at the time of the collapse. Reports suggest they are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. The BBC has not independently confirmed this and has contacted consular authorities for comment.

“He is a husband, a father of three, and has called Maryland his home for over 19 years,” Casa executive director Gustavo Torres said in a statement.

Two of the men were confirmed as being Guatemalan nationals by their Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
