Multiple barges, including one with toxic methanol, break loose on Ohio River near Louisville.

Ten barges broke free from their tugboat on the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, with three barges, one carrying 1,400 tons of methanol, being pinned against a dam. Downriver traffic has been stopped, and nearby locks that had reopened after earlier closings would most likely close again overnight as officials reassess the situation. No injuries were reported, and no one is missing. The Coast Guard is investigating the cause of the crash that freed the barges.
