Police launch criminal investigation as local leaders call on Starmer to prevent environmental catastrophe

Police have launched a criminal investigation into the collision between two ships in the North Sea, with one man arrested, as experts voiced growing fears over the environmental impact of the crash.

A 59-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter after the search was called off for a sailor onboard the Solong cargo ship, which drifted ablaze off the coast of Yorkshire on Tuesday.
