Highways company Autostrade per
l'Italia said Thursday that it has met a request from the
government for ambulances to be exempted from toll payments
after Tuesday's bridge-collapse disaster in Genoa.
"On the basis of the public call made by (Transport and
Infrastructure) Undersecretary (Edoardo) Rixi and to help the
precious rescue effort, Autostrade per l'Italia announces that
ambulances will no longer pay the toll on its network," a
statement read.
"The decision is of immediate effect".
