The other two passengers received first aid and were resuscitated by the 118 health workers. A 79-year-old man was rushed to Gravedona hospital. While a sixty-year-old was transferred to the Varese district hospital. The two men are very serious.
After the accident, an air ambulance, several ambulances and also fire brigade teams from Como, Sondrio and Lecco arrived on site, together with divers and the Lecco Carabinieri.
