Ship collides with barge at Ingalls in Pascagoula
A ship collision caused a stir in Jackson County on Friday morning, and officials say people were treated for minor injuries.
A heavy-lift ship was delivering a new dry dock to Huntington Ingalls Industries when it collided with a test barge at about 10:15 a.m., spokesman Bill Glenn told the Sun Herald.
The test barge was alongside U.S. Navy destroyer Delbert D. Black, DDG 119. The barge, which was supporting electrical work aboard DDG 119, hit the destroyer after being hit by the ship.
There also were reports of smoke from nearby witnesses, according to WLOX-TV.
“Minor injuries” were treated at the scene by Ingalls’ medical personnel, Glenn said.
The incident is under investigation.
