At least 20 people have died in northern Italy after a city bus carrying tourists to a campground crashed off an overpass near Venice and caught fire.
The bus veered off the road and fell close to railway lines in the district of Mestre, which is connected to Venice by a bridge. The cause of the accident was unclear.
Sky Italia television reported 18 bodies had been dragged from the wreckage after the vehicle fell 15 metres onto electricity lines and caught fire about 7:45pm local time.
