On the West Virginia side of the Ohio River at Muraysville a barge loaded with 1,400 tons of liquid caustic soda ran aground and capsized. Four other barges broke loose from a tow and sank near the Kentucky shore. Coast Guard and PPG Industries officials said leakage appeared minimal and high water would dilute any spill. No injuries were reported. authorities alerted downstream water systems and monitored river conditions.
