UK police arrest man over oil tanker and cargo ship collision in North Sea

Police in the United Kingdom have arrested a man “on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter” after a collision in the North Sea between a cargo vessel and a tanker. Humberside Police said on Tuesday that the 59-year-old was detained in connection with the previous day’s crash between Portuguese cargo ship Solong and the US-flagged Stena Immaculate oil tanker that caused an explosion and set the vessels ablaze.
