PORT ARTHUR, Texas – As much as 450,000 gallons of crude oil spilled in a southeast Texas port on Saturday after two vessels collided, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
No injuries have been reported, but part of the port has been closed and some nearby residents have been evacuated.
Port Arthur police Sgt. Ken Carona told television station KFDM that fewer than 100 people were evacuated from the area because of hydrogen sulfide — a hazardous gas with a rotten egg smell — that was emanating from the oil.
