    The body of one of the three victims that had been unaccounted for following the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse has been recovered, Baltimore's Unified Command said Monday.

    Salvage teams located what they believed to be one of the construction vehicles reported missing on March 26, after the incident, and promptly notified the Maryland Department of State Police, United Command said.

    The Maryland State Police, the FBI, and the Maryland Transportation Authority Police responded and located a deceased victim trapped inside the vehicle Sunday, United Command said.

    "As we mourn the lives lost and continue the recovery operation, we recognize each missing individual is someone’s beloved friend or family member," Col. Roland L. Butler, Jr., superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, said in a statement.

    Two more victims remain unaccounted for and have been declared dead after the March 26 incident , when a cargo ship crashed into the Baltimore bridge, causing a near-total collapse of a bridge span in the port.
