Italian premier to visit scenes of 2 deadly accidents

August 07, 2018

MILAN (AP) — Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte is planning to visit the scenes of two deadly accidents in the north and south of the country "to bring closeness of the government to the injured and the relatives of the victims."

Conte said he would visit Tuesday the scene of a deadly fireball in the northern city of Bologna and the place where a van packed with immigrant farmworkers overturned after colliding with a truck carrying tomatoes in the southern Puglia region, killing 12.

In the Bologna accident, a tanker truck carrying highly explosive gas rammed into the back of a truck stalled in traffic on a major highway, creating a fireball that partially collapsed a raised highway and sent secondary explosions that shattered windows and incinerated vehicles in new car lots below.
