The massive barge crashed into the Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston on Wednesday morning.
The incident has brought traffic to and from a small residential island to a standstill.
Officials are currently scrambling to determine whether the structure is safe from collapse.
The incident happened around 10 am on Wednesday, according to the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office.
