According to what is leaking from the public prosecutor’s investigation that started this morning, this tragic accident can be mainly due to two reasons – What the Italian press is writing today referring to expert statements about the accident
The railing of the Mestre viaduct, from which the tourist bus that had as its destination a nearby campsite fell, is too lowas it does not exceeds 1.5 meters in height, writes today the Italian press referring to expert statements about the accident that claimed the lives of 21 people. “It resembles a simple wall,” said Massimo Fiorese, CEO of La Linea, the company that owned the bus.
At the same time, according to what is leaking from the public prosecutor’s investigation that began this morning, this tragic accident may be mainly due for two reasons: or the driver felt bad and lost control of the vehicle or was blocked by a vehicle in front, essentially causing the tragic fall.
In the video-document, the bus can be seen falling from the Mestre bridge, without having developed a high speed.
The moment of fall
Italian public opinion is in a state of shock, while Venice is in mourning, after the tragic car accident with 21 dead.
Of the 15 injured passengers, 8 are being treated in an intensive care unit. Two siblings who had arrived in Mestre from Germany with their parents were seriously injured, as well as a 4-year-old girl from Ukraine. Among the 21 people who lost their lives, there is also a newborn.
However, speaking earlier to the French agency LaPresse, the managing director of the company that owns the bus, La Linea Spa, Massimo Fiorese described the video and claimed that the driver appears to be braking.
As he said, “no one knows yet exactly what happened, what we do know is that there was a fixed camera on the overpass. From what I’ve seen of the pictures, from what little you can see, you can see the bus arriving (at the spot) at less than 50km an hour, you see the stop lights come on, so it would have braked. Then you see that the vehicle ‘rests’ on the guardrail, overturns and falls down (from the bridge).”
Three days of mourning have been declared in the Venice region and flags are flying at half-mast, while a national mourning period is likely to be declared by the government in Rome.
