Two cargo ships collide in English Channel

Sat Dec 14, 6:19 AM ET

LONDON - Two cargo ships collided Saturday in the English Channel, injuring no one but causing one of the vessels to sink with nearly 2,900 luxury cars on board.

The Norwegian-registered Tricolor was resting on the bottom of the channel, but since the tide was low it was only partly submerged, the French coast guard said.

In heavy fog, the Tricolor collided with the Bahamas-registered container ship Kariba about 30 miles (48 kms) east of Ramsgate, southeastern England, at around 1:30 a.m. (0130 GMT), said the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.

Per Ronnevig, a spokesman for the Tricolor's owners, Wilhelmsen Lines, said the ship had been carrying 2,862 cars
