A holiday in Italy turns into a nightmare. At least 21 people have been killed, after a tourist bus has crashed off an overpass and fell to the ground close to railway tracks in a suburb outside Venice.
Foreign tourists among the dead Venice prefect Michele Di Bari — the local representative of the Interior Ministry — told Italian ANSA news agency that five Ukrainians and a German were among those dead. Veneto region's governor, Luca Zaia, said victims reportedly included two children. "The victims and injured are of various nationalities, not just Italians," Zaia added. "The operation to extract the bodies (from the wreckage) and identify them is ongoing," he said. The bus was also carrying passengers from France and Croatia, ANSA reported. Venice official Renato Boraso said the bus was bringing tourists to a camping site. The local health authorities activated the major emergency protocol, La Repubblica reported.
