Crash only the latest in a string of bizarre incidents involving boats and aircraft
Images out of Galveston, Texas, show a barge ran into the Pelican Island Bridge on Wednesday, causing a partial collapse and sending unknown chemicals into the water.
The bridge has been shut down for traffic on both sides, and the barge was struck by large pieces of concrete and train tracks.
Power was out at the Texas A&M University Galveston for a period of time, but the campus Facebook page soon announced it was restored.
The incident is similar to the cargo ship that hit Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.
This week, it was revealed the boat that hit the Baltimore bridge lost power twice before running into the overpass.
This article will be updated when more information about the cause of the wreck is available.
