At least 32 casualties have been reported after an oil tanker containing a shipment of jet fuel collided with a cargo vessel off the coast of Yorkshire and burst in flames.
The incident occurred in the Humber Estuary near the town of Withernsea, east of Hull shortly before 10am this morning.
Footage from the scene shows clouds of black smoke billowing into the air after colliding at 9:48am.
Martyn Boyers, chief executive of the Port of Grimsby East, said 13 casualties were initially brought in on a Windcat 33 vessel, followed by another 10 on a harbour pilot boat and nine on another pilot’s vessel.
Mr Boyers said he had been told there was ‘a massive fireball’, adding: ‘It’s too far out for us to see – about 10 miles – but we have seen the vessels bringing them in.
‘They must have sent a mayday out – luckily there was a crew transfer vessel out there already.’
