   A barge that was carrying almost a million gallons of oil hit a    
   ship in Galveston Bay on Saturday, spilling an unknown amount    
   into the water.   
      
   According to the Associated Press, the Coast Guard had to send    
   in booms to try to collect the spill. While it is unknown how    
   much oil spilled into the water, there was reportedly a    
   noticeable sheen left covering the bay area.   
      
   The barge, which was carrying 924,000 gallons of particularly    
   thick oil, was on its way to Bolivar when the collision    
   occurred. Six crew members on board of the towing vessel, which    
   was moving the barge, were reported to have injuries but are in    
   stable condition. Specifics on those injuries were not given out.   
      
   The Galveston Bay Foundation announced that it is looking for    
   volunteers to help with the impact the oil spill will have.   
      
   The Galveston Daily News reports that there is no immediate    
   danger to the community due to the oil spill. There are,    
   however, a few road closures to make crew access to the spill    
   area easier.
