No one was hurt. According to eyewitnesses, a car parked on the deck ended up in the water as a result of the collision.
The bridge is temporarily closed to car traffic. Shipping traffic is also temporarily unable to pass under it.
According to Rijkswaterstaat, the obstruction to shipping will take longer because of the salvage of the car that fell into the water.
It is not the first time that a ship has hit a bridge on the Van Starkenborgh Canal. Earlier this month, the Gerrit Krolbrug in Groningen was completely blown out of its seams by a ship. In recent years, the Paddepoelster bridge and bridge at Zuidhorn have also been victims of collisions.
