Tragedy Strikes as Venice Tourist Bus Plunges, Leaving 21 Dead

At least 21 people have died and 18 others were injured after a bus carrying tourists crashed off an overpass near Venice, Italy, and caught fire. The cause of the accident is still unclear, but one line of inquiry suggests that the driver may have taken ill before the crash. The bus was carrying 40 passengers, and the death toll could rise as several of the injured are in critical condition. The victims include Ukrainians, Germans, and passengers from France and Croatia. Rescue efforts are ongoing to ensure no more passengers are trapped inside the wreckage. Italy has experienced several deadly bus crashes in recent years.
