At least 21 dead after passenger bus plunges off bridge near Venice
At least 21 people have been killed after a passenger bus plunged from a bridge near Venice in an “apocalyptic” accident, say Italian authorities. The vehicle, which was carrying people returning from work, was travelling from Venice to Marghera when the shocking accident took place at the bridge in Mestre on Tuesday. “It completely went off the road, it flew off the bridge. It was a bus; it was a highway. We are in mourning,” Venice mayor Luigi Brugnaro told Italy’s national broadcaster RAI.
