A bus carrying about 50 Ukrainian refugees overturned on a major highway in northern Italy at dawn on Sunday, killing one person, Italian firefighters said.
A bus lies on its side after overturning near Forli, Italy, Sunday, March 13, 2022. Italian state radio says that a bus carrying about 50 refugees from Ukraine has overturned on a major highway in northern Italy, killing a passenger and injuring several others, none of them seriously. RAI radio said one woman died and that the rest of those aboard the bus were safely evacuated after the accident early Sunday near the town of Forli.
The bus landed on its side on a grassy slope just beyond a highway guardrail and near a farm field. Firefighters used two cranes in an operation to set the bus upright and remove it after helping the survivors to get out of the bus. “It could have been suddenly falling asleep,″ Biagioli told state TV, stressing that in any case no cause had yet been determined.Italy's Interior Ministry said the bus had set out from Ukraine and was heading south to Pescara, an Adriatic port city, when it overturned. The passengers were taken to a nearby police barracks for initial assistance, and would later resume their journey, the ministry said.
Earlier, firefighters had said there were about 50 refugees aboard the bus. But Corriere della Sera said that only 22 refugees had been aboard the bus that flipped on its side, while others were on a second bus that wasn’t involved in the crash.
