Italy coach crash kills 36: rescue sources

AVELLINO: At least 36 people were killed after a coach carrying pilgrims, including some children, plunged off a motorway flyover in southern Italy, rescue services said Monday.

Another 11 people were injured, they added, in what is already one of the worst coach accidents in Europe in recent years.

Rescue workers said they had pulled 33 bodies from the wreckage after
Sunday evening's crash near the town of Avellino in the Campania region.
They found the bodies of another three people underneath the coach. They
had been thrown from the vehicle as it plunged 30 metres (100 feet) down a slope.
