21 die as bus plunges from bridge in Italy
At least 21 people including two children have died after a bus crashed off a flyover near the Italian city of Venice and caught fire, officials say.
The bus broke through a barrier and plunged near railway tracks in the district of Mestre, which is connected to Venice by a bridge.
Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said a “huge tragedy” had taken place.
“An apocalyptic scene, there are no words,” he said on social media.
The bus is thought to have been rented to take tourists between Venice and a campsite in the nearby Marghera district.
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi warned the death toll could rise.
The cause of the crash is not yet known and rescue workers are continuing to work at the scene.
