The Coast Guard has reportedly rescued 12 people who abandoned a cargo ship after it ran aground early Wednesday near the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The agency is investigating whether the incident caused any contamination, noting that the vessel was carrying some 13,000 gallons of fuel and 250 gallons of lube oil. The ship, named Bonnie G, also was transporting six cars, a truck, a trailer and two pallets of cargo.
"There is still much work ahead of us," said Capt. José Díaz, commander of the Coast Guard Sector San Juan.
