Two barges collided early Monday morning off the coast of Galveston, Texas, sparking a fire on one vessel and spilling fuel into the waterway.
According to KTRK, the local ABC affiliate, both barges were being hauled by tug boats through the Houston Ship Channel around 1:20 a.m. when one of the tugs lost power. The barge it was towing then struck the other barge.
Although one of the barges caught fire after the collision, the flames were extinguished overnight, Click2Houston.com reported.
