Oil tanker and cargo ship collide off East Coast

The very latest on the operation which is underway after two ships collided just off the Humber Estuary in the North Sea. Fires are still burning on an oil tanker carrying jet fuel and a cargo ship carrying highly toxic chemicals that collided in the North Sea. One cargo crew member is still unaccounted for and the search has been called off after "an extensive search", HM Coastguard says. The collision involved the US-registered Stena Immaculate - which was transporting fuel on behalf of the US military - and the Portuguese-flagged Solong.
