At least 37 people dead after coach carrying tourists plunges 100ft off highway into ravine in Italy

This was how Dailymail reported the accident:

At least 37 tourists died last night after a coach plunged 100ft off a highway into a ravine in Italy, police and rescuers said.

The coach was travelling between Monteforte Irpino and Baiano in the southern region of Campania as it carried around 50 tourists back to Naples.

Rescue operations were continuing early this morning and four young children were pulled alive from the stricken coach, a fire service spokesman said, adding: ‘The situation is dramatic. Italian news agency ANSA quoted its photographer, Cesare Abbate, at the scene in a rural area near Avellino as saying he saw some 30 bodies covered by sheets near the bus after the crash last night.

Highway police told state radio that the bus slammed into several cars which had slowed for heavy traffic before plunging off the highway and falling dozens of yards down the ravine.

So sad...may their soul rest in peace. See more photos from the accident after the cut..
