Italian National Police(GENOA, Italy) — A section of a towering highway bridge collapsed in Italy Tuesday, sending cars plunging 300 feet to the ground and killing several people, officials said.
The collapse in Genoa occurred during strong storms moving through the area of northwest Italy, according to authorities.
At least 10 vehicles were on the bridge in a port section of the city when the span gave way, officials said.
The collapse happened on part of the viaduct between Pocever and Mornandi on the A10 highway, the country’s national police, Polizia di Stato, said.
