PICTURED: Fourth Baltimore bridge builder whose body was pulled from van on the ... trends now
The distraught mother of a Mexican construction worker who died after a 948-foot-long cargo ship crashed into a Baltimore bridge he was working on has said she is devastated she didn’t tell him how much she loved him the last time they spoke.
Father-of-four Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 36, originally from Mexico, was one of six workers who plunged to their deaths in the early hours of Monday morning after the DALI shipping container crashed into the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse immediately.
His body, alongside that of Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, was found by divers on Wednesday afternoon, inside of a red pickup truck that had sunk 25 feet into the frigid Patapsco River.
Alejandro’s mother, Obdulia Fuentes, this morning tearfully revealed to DailyMail.com that her son had followed to her to the US from Mexico in 2006 because ‘he couldn’t bear to be without his mother’.
Speaking in Spanish, while Alejandro’s niece translated, Obdulia said he had ‘always been a great son’.

‘From a very young age he always worried about me,' she said, speaking from her home in Riverdale, Maryland.
‘He always tried his best to help. He started working really hard to buy me a washing machine because he didn’t like the fact I was washing clothes by hand.'
