A towboat pushing 29 loaded grain barges struck a bridge pier near Luling, Louisiana, at nearly 12 mph while the river was near flood stage. The tow broke apart and one barge sank, with damage estimated near $1.65 million.
Accidents that disrupt tows on the lower Mississippi can delay grain shipments through the New Orleans export corridor and raise barge freight rates while the channel is cleared. The impact is likely short-lived unless the closure is prolonged.
