Oil Spill in St. Johns
A dredging barge breaks in an oil line, spilling thousands of gallons of oil spilling into the St. Johns River.
Crews are working to clean up an oil spill in the St. Johns River.
The accident occurred around 9:30 this morning, when a dredging barge owned by Misener Marine hit the cable in the Metro Park Marina.
The Coast Guard and several environmental agencies are responding to assess the damage and oversee clean-up.
The oil is contained, but the six-thousand gallons of oil in the three-mile cable will have to be released before they can make any repairs.
There are currently no reports of impacts to wildlife or significant environmental problems. Clean-up and repairs are expected to take two days.
