In a Spanish-language interview with PEOPLE, Jesus Campos says he is acquaintances with the six individuals who have yet to be found after a cargo ship crashed into one of the bridge’s pillars and caused it to collapse. Campos learned the bridge had collapsed at about 5:40 a.m. local time, about four hours after the incident occurred. He says he does not have any updated information on his coworkers who were rescued. “They are good people,” Campos adds.

At a press conference, Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul J. Wiedefeld said eight workers were repairing potholes on the bridge at the time.

Baltimore City Fire Chief James Wallace told CNN that five vehicles were also found at the bottom of the river, including three passenger vehicles and a cement truck. Before Tuesday’s tragedy, Campos says he would cross the bridge “every day” for work. He was even working on the bridge himself a month ago but recently got switched to the day shift.

JIM LO SCALZO/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Upon arriving at work Tuesday morning, Campos learned that the six individuals “were on the bridge when it fell” and were still in the water. Campos tells PEOPLE he has only been with their company for about eight months, but that his missing coworkers have worked there for “a long time.” Warning from Ship Crew Before Baltimore Bridge Collapse Allowed Officials to Stop Traffic: 'They Saved Lives' Initially, Campos says he returned home and watched news coverage of the tragedy. He then traveled to a site near the incident, where he was approached about his connections to the victims.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing. President Joe Biden announced ship traffic has been suspended in the Port of Baltimore until further notice.
