VENICE (AP) — Firefighters worked until dawn Wednesday to remove the wreckage of a bus that crashed in a borough of Venice, Italy, across the lagoon from its historic center, killing 21 people and injuring at least 15, mostly foreign tourists returning to a nearby camping site.
The shuttle was connecting Piazzale Roma, in Venice's historic center, to the Hu campground in Marghera, another borough of Venice neighbouring Mestre.
He was an experienced driver, Venice city councilor Renato Boraso said.
I carried a woman out on my shoulders, then a man,” Erheneden told the Venice daily il Gazzettino.
In 2017, 16 people on a bus carrying Hungarian students died in an accident near the northern city of Verona.
