TRIGG COUNRY, Ky .- There are new development coming in on the accident that left a huge hole in the middle of a Kentucky bridge. Monday, divers checked out the debris from this wreck last Thursday, when a ship operated by Foss Maritime hit the Eggner's Ferry Bridge in Trigg County and tore off a section of it.

Foss has submitted salvage plans to the coast guard to get the ship out of the way, so that the bridge can be repaired. They'll have to remove the debris from the ship and from the lake, in order to do that.

Two cranes have been brought to the site of the crash, and will begin the operation as soon as it's approved.
