Italy: Over 20 Dead, Venice bus plunges from bridge
 

[At least 21 people including four children
have died after a bus crashed off a flyover
near 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.

Among the dead are five Ukrainians,
one German and the Italian driver,
city prefect Michele Di Bari said.
Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said a
"huge tragedy" had taken place.
"An apocalyptic scene, there are no words,"
he said on social media.

Another 18 people are known to have
been injured, five of them seriously.
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said
the death toll could rise.
The bus is thought to have been rented
to take tourists between Venice and a
campsite in the nearby Marghera district.
The incident happened at about 19:45 (17:45 GMT)
as the bus was reportedly taking tourists
back to the campsite.

The vehicle plunged more than 10m (33 feet),
emergency services said.

Some reports say the bus was powered by
methane gas and fell on to power lines and
caught fire.]
