The 37-year-old, a father of two, is one of six men on the Francis Scott Key Bridge fixing potholes when it collapsed after being struck by a 289m-long cargo ship - the Dali.

The first missing person identified earlier was Miguel Luna, a 49-year-old father of six, from El Salvador.

Two Guatemalan foreign nationals aged 26 and 35 are also presumed dead, the country's foreign ministry confirmed.

All six who worked for Brawner Builders are presumed to be dead by authorities as divers search the water for bodies, having recovered the black box from the Dali.

A relative of Mr Luna told Sky News they were distraught as they waited for news about him, and said that some members of his family were taken by police to a location in Baltimore where they could be with the other families of the missing.

Jose Campos, a colleague of Mr Luna, also told Sky: "My supervisor called me in the morning and told me they had rescued one of my colleagues but he was in a coma.

"I never imagined something this awful could happen. The path where the boat goes was supposed to be a safe zone."

He said all the men were migrants from "humble, low-income families" sending money to relatives back home.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore said he spoke to the families of the victims, assuring them since the mission had transitioned from search and rescue to recovery he would "put every possible resource to bring [them] a sense of closure".

The 1.6-mile-long bridge tumbled into the Patapsco River at 1.30am local time (5.30am UK time) on Tuesday.

US Coast Guard and Maryland State Police officials previously said that based on the frigid temperature of the water and the length of time that had elapsed since the bridge came down there was little if any chance that the workers could be found alive.

Eight people were initially unaccounted for, with two of them having been rescued from the water.

One of them is described as being in a "very serious condition" in hospital while the other was not injured.

US President Joe Biden promised he would visit Baltimore "as soon as possible" after the collapse, adding that the federal government will cover the "full cost" of rebuilding the bridge - which experts say could be over $600m (£474m).

Mr Biden said it may emerge a private company was responsible for the disaster, but his government is "not going to wait" to begin the rebuilding process.

He told reporters at the White House: "It's my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge and I expect Congress to support my effort."

The US president continued: "Everything so far indicates that this was a terrible accident. At this time we have no other indication, no other reason to believe there's any intentional act here.

"Personnel on board the ship were able to alert the Maryland Department of Transportation that they had lost control of their vessel."

Mr Biden added that this meant local authorities were able to close the bridge before it was struck which "undoubtedly saved lives".

He continued: "Our prayers are with everyone involved in this terrible accident and all the families [affected], especially those waiting for news of their loved one right now. I know every minute in that circumstance feels like a lifetime."

The US president also said authorities will be working to get the port open again as soon as possible.

The Port of Baltimore, which is accessed or departed by going underneath the bridge, is one of the US' largest shipping hubs.

Mr Biden said 15,000 jobs depend on the port.

"We're going to do everything we can to protect those jobs," he added.

He continued: "I've directed my team to move heaven and earth to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge as soon as humanly possible."

Baltimore fire department's communications chief Kevin Cartwright has said there were multiple vehicles on the bridge when it was struck by the ship, one of which was the size of a tractor trailer.

CCTV and marine tracking data shows the ship, known as the Dali, lost power, adjusted its course and started smoking about 60 seconds before it hit the bridge.

According to the timings on the CCTV, the vessel hit the structure at 1.28:44am - with the bridge collapsing four seconds later.

All 22 crew members on board the ship, including the two pilots, have been accounted for and there were no reports of injuries.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said in a news conference that its investigators will not board the Dali on Tuesday.

The authority's chair Jennifer Homendy said the decision has been made to give "some time to the search and recovery effort".

"We did not want to interfere," she added.

Ms Homendy explained the NTSB will be able to provide more information in the "coming days", and voyager data recorder information will be "critical".

She said the NTSB will be leading the investigation and the Coast Guard will support it.

The same ship was previously involved in a minor incident when it hit a quay at the Port of Antwerp in Belgium in 2016, according to Vessel Finder and maritime accident site Shipwrecklog.

The vessel was reportedly damaged in the incident, but there were no injuries or pollution issues reported.

Meanwhile, Brandon Scott, mayor of Baltimore, declared a local state of emergency which will be in place for the next 30 days as the search continues.

The NTSB is also conducting an investigation into the incident.

The Singapore-flagged ship was headed to Colombo in Sri Lanka at the time of the collision.

It was chartered by Danish shipping company Maersk, which said it was "horrified by what has happened". It said its thoughts were with everyone affected.

The Port of Baltimore is the 11th largest in the US, meaning its closure will cause knock-on effects for the industry.

Built in 1977, the Francis Scott Key Bridge is one of the longest continuous truss bridges in the world, according to the National Steel Bridge Alliance.

It was named after the writer of The Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the US, which was penned after a War of 1812 US-UK battle in Baltimore harbour.
