Tug ran aground on banks of Mississippi River
A tug pushing a chain of barges ran aground briefly on the banks of the Mississippi River in front of the French Quarter, but officials said the accident caused no damage or injuries. The Coast Guard said the towboat Limestone Lady was pushing 14 empty barges when it ran aground Tuesday morning. The barges struck rocks that armor the levee in front of the French Quarter. The towboat reported losing power. A tug helped keep the Limestone Lady and its barges in place while its crew worked to restore power.
