Two Guatemalan nationals were among the six workers who went missing after a cargo ship lost control and hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge near Baltimore early Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday evening, the Guatemalan Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed two Guatemalan workers, ages 26 and 35 years old, went missing after the bridge collapsed.
They were part of a group of eight workers who were repairing asphalt on the bridge at the time, the Guatemalan ministry said.

Two men were rescued.
Of the four others still missing, the Guatemalan ministry said they are believed to be nationals from Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador.
The Guatemalan nationals' families have been notified, the ministry said.
"We will continue requesting information from the authorities and information about search and rescue efforts to find the missing Guatemalans," the statement said.
The Mexican Consulate in Washington, D.C., earlier said in a statement that local authorities hadn't confirmed the nationalities of the missing people.
On social media, Honduran Foreign Affairs Minister Enrique Reina said officials were looking to determine if Honduran nationals were in the accident, but they hadn’t been able to confirm as of yet.
