Collapse Of Baltimore Bridge Doesn’t Stop Drivers From Trying To Cross It

Baltimore officials are in a frenzy as the Francis Scott Key Bridge has collapsed after being hit by a cargo ship. Search and rescue efforts are underway to locate people who might have fallen into the water during the collapse, and a key thoroughfare to the second busiest port on the eastern seaboard has been severed. But none of this has stopped people in cars who just need to get where they’re trying to go, no matter what.

In a video posted to X by @MolotovFlicker, drivers can be seen going around a barricade set up to keep people from driving towards the collapsed bridge. The first vehicle — a Toyota Tacoma — appears to have a couple of people sitting in the truck bed. Another car, a Camry, follows suit, most likely in a “If they’re doing it, I’m doing it too” way.
