Italian authorities were investigating Wednesday what caused a horrific bus crash near Venice a day earlier, in which at least 21 people died, including several children. Fifteen people were injured.
The electric bus, carrying foreign tourists returning from a day trip to Venice, crashed through the guardrail and off an overpass late on Tuesday in the Mestre district, slamming into the ground more than 10 metres below and catching fire.
The accident happened shortly before 8:00 p.m. local time on a straight and normally very busy road that connects Mestre to the historic centre of Venice.
Italian news agencies said the dead included four or five Ukrainians, a German tourist and an Italian driver. ANSA, quoting emergency services, said a baby and a 12-year-old were among the dead.
