At dawn, around 5:21 a.m., operations to remove the bus that fell from the Rizzardi overpass near the Mestre train station were completed, killing 15 people. Another 5 were injured, five of them seriously.
After hours of work, the bus was lifted with the support of two cranes and transported to a depot. Over 60 firefighters were involved with over 20 vehicles. With the vehicle removed, traffic in the area resumed at first light.
Seven people have already been identified among the deceased, four of them Ukrainians, an Italian (the driver), a German, and a woman of unknown nationality, possibly Ukrainian.
