The barge was headed to Hengelo from Antwerp when it approached the bridge when it struck some piles near the quay. The vessel then proceeded under the bridge and struck the underside with its antenna. The Hannah Luisa only sustained minor damage when the antenna broke off. Authorities halted traffic over the bridge until engineers could inspect it for damage. Reports state the survey found no damage and traffic resumed a short time later.
No reports of injuries or pollution released. High water and strong currents were suggested as the cause of the incident. Video of the accident can be seen at dumpert.nl
