A witness described an « apocalyptic scene » Tuesday in Genoa, Italy, where a 250-foot section of the Morandi Bridge on the A10 highway collapsed in a fierce storm, reports the AP. Eleven people have been confirmed dead, with the Guardian citing local reports that put the total at 20. The bridge is 300 feet high, and some 20 cars and trucks were said to have fallen; two people have been pulled alive from their vehicles, and ANSA cites police sources who say some trucks fell into the Polcevera River. The Guardian notes the A10 links Italy and France and is a popular route for vacation-goers.
