Six
German tourists killed in Italy and eleven more injured after a suspected drunk
driver piled into their group at speed in Lutago on the Austrian border. After
spending the night at a club, the group of 17 was waiting by their tourist bus
at 1.15 am.
It
is reported by Italy's Corriere Della Sera newspaper that the driver,
a 28-year-old local had a high blood alcohol level when police first arrived
and has been taken for further tests. It is estimated that around 160 members
of Italy's rescue services were dispatched to the scene. The German
foreign ministry in Berlin said that they are in close touch with the Italian
authorities who are working on identifying the victims and assisting those who
have been affected in the accident."
