A capsized cargo ship off the US East Coast is leaking bunker fuel into the sea, according to local news reports.

The vessel capsized on St Simons Sound on the Georgia coast.

A 2.5 mile oil slick is trailing from the ship, the report said.

Salavage companies are working to remove the remaining bunker fuel onboard.
