7:18 AM PT — Baltimore’s MLB team just sent out its thoughts and prayers to those affected by the collapse … vowing in a statement to “get through this” as a “tight-knit and resilient city.”
The Baltimore Ravens sent out prayers to the victims of the tragic Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse Tuesday morning … writing in a statement their “hearts go out to those who have been affected.”
The bridge crumpled into the Patapsco River at around 1:30 AM … after a large ship hit one of its support columns.
Several vehicles were on the bridge when it crashed into the near-freezing water below … and city officials say divers are now on the scene searching for victims.
The Ravens — who play roughly 15 miles away from the bridge at M&T Bank Stadium — added in their statement they’re confident the city will bond together in the wake of the tragedy.

Former Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III also sent prayers to those involved … as did LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese, who was born and raised in the Baltimore area.
The crash is said to have been unintentional … with officials attributing it all to the vessel losing power.
