Venice – A few days after the fatal bus accident in Venice, another bus from the same company has had an accident.

Another tragic accident in Venice: bus leaves the road – 15 people injured
According to the police, no one’s life was in danger after the accident. Just at the beginning of the month a terrible accident occurred in Venice. 21 people died in the bus accident, including three Germans. Both buses belong to the same company. The public prosecutor’s office is now investigating the managing director.
According to Italian media reports, the driver of the bus that crashed on Saturday said he lost control due to a health problem. Like most of the inmates, he escaped with relatively minor injuries. The city had chartered the bus from the private company La Linea. The company had provided a shuttle bus for a campsite when the accident occurred on October 3rd.

At that time, too, there was initial speculation that the driver might have suffered a seizure. The 40-year-old Italian was also killed. The autopsy showed that he was healthy. Two city officials who are responsible for maintaining bridges and roads are now under investigation. The bus, which was full of tourists, fell from a bridge about ten meters high onto a railway line. There was a big gap in the guardrail at that point.
