JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A shrimp boat struck a bridge in Jacksonville on Thursday morning and multiple agencies were searching for the captain, officials said.
The U.S. Coast Guard tweeted that the 30-foot (9-meter) fishing boat was “unmanned and running in circles” near the Buckman Bridge which spans the St. Johns River just before 8 a.m. Thursday.
No one was aboard when Jacksonville Fire Rescue crews reached the boat, which struck one of the bridge’s pillars, news outlets reported.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Sunday night concert to see rap artist Toosii perform ended in chaos before it began.
Hundreds of young people and a few of their parents were waiting outside of the venue at Sk8 City Fun Zone in Regency Court Plaza when the event reached capacity.
Excelsior Security Agency, the security company for the property owner, was helping with traffic control and parking lot issues but were told that Sk8 City Fun Zone and the promoter had hired their own security. When the crowd size kept growing and they saw the potential for safety issues, Excelsior senior staff called for the Jacksonville fire marshal at 7:50 p.m. asking for the event to be shut down.
