A barge carrying over 80,000 gallons of oil struck a railroad bridge near Vicksburg, Mississippi, causing an oil spill and damage to the bridge. Cleanup crews are skimming oily water from the river, and efforts are underway to transfer remaining oil from the damaged barge tanks to prevent further leakage. The river was closed to ship traffic in the affected area during cleanup.
