Watch Devastating Bus Incident in Venice Leaves 21 Dead After Vehicle Falls from Bridge (Full Video)
Tragedy struck in Venice as a bus, carrying at least 21 individuals, including two children, plummeted from a bridge spanning a railway line. The bus subsequently burst into flames after veering off the bridge that connects the Mestre and Marghera districts of the northern Italian city.
Mayor Luigi Brugnaro expressed the devastating nature of the event on social media, describing it as an “apocalyptic scene” with “numerous victims.” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni conveyed her deepest condolences and confirmed her coordination with Mayor Brugnaro and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini to monitor the situation. Mayor Brugnaro later informed Rai News24 that more people remained trapped in the wreckage, and as the rescue operation continues, the death toll is anticipated to rise.
