Police investigating whether driver suffered illness in moments before tourist bus veered off overpass
Three children including a newborn baby are among 21 people confirmed to have died after a tourist coach veered off an overpass near Venice before plummeting several metres and bursting into flames.
The cause of the crash is not yet clear, although one theory is that the driver, who also died, had suffered a sudden illness. “From the initial findings there are no signs of braking,” Marco Agostini, a Venice police chief, told the Ansa news agency. “The driver’s illness is an hypothesis.”
