On December 12, the 113 meter long passenger ship Primadonna allided with a bridge on the Danube in the lock at Aschach an der Donau, Austria. The Primadonna had entered the lock at too high of speed and was unable to slow down before it struck the bridge. The impact caused the bridge to break off its foundation and crash onto the Primadonna’s upper deck. The lock system sustained damage and require repairs. No reports of injuries. Reports state the Primadonna was to be taken to a shipyard in Linz for repairs.
