Gov. Steve Beshear has declared a regional state of emergency to allow Kentucky to seek federal emergency funds for the repair of a western Kentucky bridge struck by a cargo ship.More >>
BENTON, KY (WSMV) -
The state ofKentucky wants more than $7 million from a shipping company after an accident that destroyed part of a bridge last year.
The state is filing for damages against Foss Maritime, which owns the Delta Mariner ship that hit a section of the Eggner's Ferry Bridge, causing it to collapse into the Tennessee River.
The company says it isn't responsible for the collapse because some of the lights on the bridge were not working.
Kentucky officials said the money will pay for the emergency repairs made to the bridge.
They said the ship ignored warnings from other vessels and the Coast Guard about conditions that night.
