It appears that the ship was heading to the bridge completely off course and heads toward the support column in this video.

This makes it appear deliberate, as other cargo ships would have passed underneath mid span.

There are reports that there may have been attempts to stop traffic on the bridge as the ship was approaching the bridge, which may account for there not being a lot of traffic on the bridge at the time it collapsed

Obviously Capt. Abdul was aiming for the support.....

Centerline of the Dali appeared to be at least 200 - 300 feet outside of the marine ship traffic lane.
