Pohjois-Italiassa tapahtuneen bussiturman kuolonuhrien määrä on noussut 16:een, kertovat pelastustyöntekijät. Lähes 40 loukkaantunutta on viety sairaaloihin saamaan hoitoa.

Onnettomuus tapahtui yöllä Veronan lähistöllä, kun linja-auto osui moottoritiellä toistaiseksi tuntemattomasta syystä pylvääseen ja syttyi palamaan.

Pelastusviranomaisten mukaan bussissa oli noin 50 matkustajaa, useimmat heistä unkarilaisia nuoria. Nuoret ovat tiettävästi iältään 16-18-vuotiaita.

Paikallisen median mukaan bussi oli paluumatkalla Ranskasta ja reitti kotiin kulki Italian kautta. Kuljettaja oli median mukaan ranskalainen ja saattaa olla uhrien joukossa.
