🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸 RUSSIAN CAPTAIN CHARGED AFTER NORTH SEA CRASH TURNED DEADLY

The Russian captain of the Solong cargo ship, Vladimir Motin, 59, has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter after a disastrous crash in the North Sea.

On Monday morning, off the eastern coast of England the Solong plowed into the US-registered tanker Stena Immaculate, which was loaded with jet fuel for the U.S. Navy.

The collision sparked a fire, forcing 36 crew members to abandon ship.

One crew member from the Solong is still missing and presumed dead.

Motin has been taken into custody and will appear in court tomorrow, likely with a lot of explaining to do.
