At least 35 were killed when a large section of a highway bridge collapsed over the northern Italian city of Genoa, crushing vehicles and sending dozens plummeting towards the ground, Italy’s ANSA news agency cited fire brigade sources as saying.

Italy’s transport minister called it “an immense tragedy.”

The head of Italy’s civil protection agency Angelo Borrelli said that in addition to the deaths, the disaster has so far left 13 injured, the Associated Press reported.
