PELICAN ISLAND, Texas - One lane of the Pelican Island Bridge is now open after a barge struck it on Wednesday morning.
The bridge connects Pelican Island to Galveston, and Pelican Island was inaccessible by vehicle.
Galveston officials say there were no reports of injuries in the collision that occurred around 10 a.m. However, Judge Henry says two crew members did go overboard but were recovered from the water.
SkyFOX video from the scene shows that debris from the bridge, including a section of the railroad tracks, fell onto the barge.
Judge Henry says the collision resulted in a spill of vacuum gas oil. The barge reportedly has a 30,000-gallon capacity, but the county judge says it's not known at this time how much oil was on board.
