Another barge collision accident occurred in America!

On March 30, local time, a large American barge crashed into the Arkansas River Bridge at Kerr Reservoir in Saliso, Oklahoma. Engineers from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation inspected the bridge columns and found that there was some damage to the bridge columns.

No injuries were reported and the barge was badly damaged. The bridge has been reopened. The Oklahoma State Patrol said it once closed a highway south of Saliso after the barge hit the bridge.

Earlier, a bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being hit by a container ship, causing eight people to fall into the water and two people to be rescued. Later that day, the local government said that six other missing persons were presumed dead, and the search was suspended at 6 am local time on the 27th. The Maryland government has declared a state of emergency.

Steel beams of the collapsed bridge are scattered in the river, blocking the entrance to Baltimore Port, an important hub for shipping routes in the eastern United States, Agence France-Presse reported.

Data show that the international freight throughput of Baltimore Port last year was 52.3 million tons, with a value of more than 80 billion US dollars. According to US media reports, the bridge collision accident on the 26th may bring a "logistics nightmare" to the East Coast of the United States.

一波未平一波又起，美国又发生驳船撞桥事故！

       当地时间3月30日，美国一艘大型驳船在俄克拉何马州萨利索市克尔水库撞上了阿肯色河大桥。俄克拉何马州交通部的工程师进行了检查，发现桥柱有一定程度的损坏。

       据悉，此次事故未造成人员受伤，驳船严重损坏。目前大桥已经重新开放。俄克拉何马州巡逻队表示，驳船撞上桥梁后，曾一度关闭了萨利索以南的一条高速公路。

       此前美国巴尔的摩市的一座大桥遭到一艘集装箱货船撞击后，发生部分坍塌，导致8人落水，2人获救。当天晚些时候，当地政府表示，推定另外6名失踪人员已经身亡，搜寻工作在当地时间27日早上6点暂停。马里兰州政府已经宣布进入紧急状态。

       据法新社报道，目前坍塌的桥体钢梁散落在河中，堵塞了巴尔的摩港入口。这座港口是美国东部海运线路的重要枢纽。

       数据显示，去年巴尔的摩港国际货运吞吐量5230万吨，价值超过800亿美元。美国媒体报道称，26日的撞桥事故，可能会给美国东海岸带来“物流噩梦”。
