16 Hungarian students killed in bus crash in Italy

At least 16 students were killed and about 39 injured when a bus carrying Hungarian students crashed and burst into flames on a highway in northern Italy.

As per media reports, most of the passengers were teenage students and others were teachers and parents.

The bust went off the road near a highway exit during the night and hit a pylon. Authorities said that bodies were being recovered from the wreckage and the death toll could climb.

The bus had been carrying at least 50 passengers. Most were Hungarians aged between 14 and 18.

The national fire service said on Twitter that the bus had burst into flames. “There are many victims,” it said. Police were awaiting the go-ahead from the prosecutor to analyse the wreckage.
