Cargo ship strikes bridge over Delaware River

The drawbridge was already open to let marine traffic pass when a cargo ship struck it, according to the U.S. Coast Guard's account in an ABC News report. The impact left the bridge unable to close for six hours, disrupting road traffic between New Jersey and Philadelphia.

Aerial footage shows the raised bridge and vehicles stopped on the approach. Closer views show crew members inspecting an exterior platform, where a safety rail and a sign hang off the structure.

Authorities were trying to determine why the ship hit the bridge, ABC's narrator says. The brief report, dated November 13, ends with officials confirming that normal bridge operations had resumed and that no one was injured. It does not give a cause for the collision.

The ABC News video has drawn roughly 427,000 views since yesterday, showing the damage and inspection work rather than the moment of impact.
