A new dispatch audio from Maryland Transportation Authority police reveals that officers had been pre-alerted to divert traffic one minute before the Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed.
Dispatch audio obtained by DMV News Live reveals that MDTA authorities alerted nearby officers to divert traffic to the Francis Scott Key Bridge a minute before the bridge collapsed.
In the MDTA dispatch audio, an MDTA officer can be heard ordering officers: “I need one of you guys on the north side, one to the south side, and one of you guys on hold all traffic on the Key Bridge.”
“There’s a ship approaching that lost its steering. So until we get that under control, we’ve got to stop all traffic.” added the MDTA officer.
