The pictures are reminiscent of the devastating collapse of a motorway bridge in Genoa in 2018: the bridge of a state road in Italy collapsed. The misfortune apparently turned out lightly.
Rome (dpa) - In Italy, a bridge of a state road between Liguria and Tuscany has collapsed. According to initial information, there were only minor injuries, the Ministry of Transport in Rome said.
