A barge crashed into a Texas bridge, leading to its partial collapse and an oil spill.
The large barge smashed into the only bridge connecting Galveston, Texas, with Pelican Island, which houses a university. Galveston County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Ray Nolen said one person on the barge had been knocked overboard but was quickly recovered. The segment of the bridge that partially collapsed was an unused railroad bridge that runs alongside the motorway.
