A barge crashed into a bridge on the Texas coast on Wednesday, forcing the closure of the only roadway to a small island off the city of Galveston and spilling oil into the river.

No injuries were reported and the Pelican Island Bridge, almost 100 kilometres southeast of Houston, remained standing after the barge ran into it.

The collision comes amid heightened concerns in the U.S. about the vulnerability of bridges after a cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March, killing six people and resulting in its collapse.
