SAN FRANCISCO – A container ship bound for China struck a fog-shrouded tower of San Francisco’s Bay Bridge on Wednesday morning, causing a fuel spill and forcing the closure of several San Francisco beaches, officials said.
People near the spill reported suffering headaches and nausea as they breathed air containing vaporized oil, but public health officials said the fumes were not likely to have long-term health effects.
Four picturesque beaches on both sides of the landmark Golden Gate Bridge — Baker, Fort Point, China, and Crissy Field — were closed, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
