Bridge collapses in Genoa
HUNDREDS of firefighters and emergency rescue officials are racing against time to find survivors after a major highway collapsed during a violent storm in Italy’s city of Genoa.
The incident saw 80 metres of the bridge collapse, sending vehicles pluning 45 metres into a heap of rubble.
Italiy’s leader Premier Giuseppe Conte has said 22 people have been killed and 16 injured, and he fears that the final death toll may rise.
But unidentified fire brigade sources had earlier told Italy’s ANSA news agency that 35 people were killed.
Mr Conte travelled to the site of the disaster this morning saying “it is shocking to see the twisted metal and the bridge collapsed with victims who were extracted”. He also praised the hundreds of rescue workers still at the site, saying “they saved people who fell 45 metres and are now alive and in the hospital”.
Photos and video footage of the incident have emerged, showing the devastating aftermath which has left the northern port city reeling.
