At least 21 people including four children have been killed in a fireball bus crash in a borough of Venice. The new electric vehicle, which earlier reports claimed was powered by methane gas, was returning from a day trip to Venice to a camping site when the accident occurred about 7.30pm on Tuesday. “The bus flipped upside down. The impact was terrible because it fell from over 10 metres,” Mauro Luongo, fire brigade commander of Venice, said at the scene.
