A SHIP has crashed into a cargo crane in Barcelona this morning (Wednesday) in Spain. The incident happened this morning at the Port of Barcelona when a large vessel struck a crane causing it to topple over and burst into flames. The resulting fire has forced the entire south pier of the port to be evacuated. Four units from Barcelona’s Fire Brigade and the Medical Emergency System (SEM) have rushed to the scene to control the blaze. At this time there have been no reported injuries as a result of the incident and the surrounding area is reportedly suffering from major traffic delays due to the ongoing operation.
