Alarms were sounded in Texas after a cargo ship crashed into the Galveston Bridge, partially collapsing the rail line and creating an oil spill.
Footage released shows that part of the railway track next to the bridge appears to have collapsed, while concrete slabs are piled onto the barge.
⚠️Here’s another footage of a barge hitting the Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston, Texas.
Chemicals can be seen trailing off from the barge into the water.
