A cargo ship and oil tanker collided in the North Sea off East Yorkshire, leaving one crew member missing. The Stena Immaculate, carrying jet fuel, and the Solong cargo ship, transporting sodium cyanide, caught fire after the crash. The Coastguard rescued 36 people, with one hospitalized, before halting the search for the missing crew member. Authorities imposed a five-mile exclusion zone. The UK government is monitoring the situation as investigations continue. Experts suggest poor visibility and possible autopilot use contributed to the crash. Environmental concerns are rising due to leaked jet fuel.
