Cargo ship sailing under Czech captain runs into Groningen Bridge, causing extensive damage

A cargo ship sailing under a Czech captain collided with a bridge in Groningen, The Netherlands, on Saturday night, causing extensive damage, the AFP news agency reported. No one was injured in the accident. The Czech captain has been detained for questioning after undergoing tests that ruled out alcohol and drugs.  The cargo ship Bodensee is 110 metres long and was sailing under a German flag. Local media say the captain may not have been experienced enough to be in command of a vessel of that size.
