NEW YORK (AP) - A tanker carrying more than 450,000 barrels of oil ran aground Thursday morning off New York City's Coney Island. No spill was immediately reported.

Something went wrong with the steering system on the ship White Sea around 6:30 a.m., causing it to turn off course and run into the sandy bottom of a channel, said Coast Guard spokesman Chief Bob Laura.
