Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: Victims include dad of 5
The bodies of three workers were recovered. Three remain missing.
Six construction workers were killed when a cargo ship struck Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge early on March 26, sending the workers into the water below, officials said.
The bodies of three victims have since been recovered, while three remain missing.
The bodies of two of the workers were recovered a day after the collapse. Divers found them trapped in a red pickup truck that was submerged in approximately 25 feet of water near the middle span of the bridge, Maryland State Police said.
They were identified by police as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, a native of Mexico who lived in Baltimore, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, a native of Guatemala who lived in Dundalk, Maryland.
A third missing victim -- identified as Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, 38 -- was recovered the morning of April 5 after salvage dive teams located his body at the site of the incident, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Suazo-Sandoval, a father of two, migrated from Honduras over 17 years ago, according to Gustavo Torres, the executive director of CASA.
He dreamed of starting a small business and brought joy and humor to his family, Torres told reporters a day in the wake of the bridge collapse.
He would celebrate everything and bring balloons to the airport to greet his family when they visited, his brother, Carlos Suazo, told ABC News.
Among the three still missing is construction worker Miguel Luna.
Luna, 49, was a father of five from Usulutan, California, in El Salvador, his family told ABC News.
Luna called Maryland home for over 19 years, according to Court Appointed Special Advocates, a group that works with immigrants.
The final two victims have not been identified.
One missing worker is a 35-year-old from Camotán, Chiquimula, in Guatemala, the country's foreign ministry said.
The last missing worker is from Mexico, the country's foreign ministry said.
Two construction workers survived the collapse.
