Twenty-three people were hurt
when a school bus with 50 children on board veered off the road
near Mantua Monday. The accident took place on the former Padana
inferiore state highway between Castellucchio and Ospitaletto.
According to early reports, none of those hurt was badly
injured. All those hurt have been taken to the paediatric
department of Mantua's Carlo Poma Hospital. The bus was carrying
pupils from elementary and middle schools at Castelvecchio, who
were coming home from school. According to early reports, the
vehicle veered and ended up off the road because the driver had
a bad turn, possibly due to a heart attack. The bus listed over
onto its side.
