Coast Guard Investigating Cargo Ship For Hitting Oil Pipeline

An underwater pipeline was moved in rough seas in January, months before an oil spill released 25,000 gallons of crude near Huntington Beach. It's unclear if the initial incident caused the leak or weakened the pipeline, leading to a later rupture. The Coast Guard's investigation may take months. The spill has severely affected the ocean and wetlands, killing various wildlife.
