SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – The Coast Guard has released a report after a crane struck the Talmadge Bridge in August.
The Coast Guard says the crane hit the bridge after the tugboat’s captain was given incorrect information about the height of the crane. The crane operator told the captain the crane’s boom was 160 feet long. But it was really 180 feet long. That caused the crane’s boom to hit the bridge and collapse. No one was injured.
The report says the accident caused about $450,000 worth of damage to the bridge…
