Tour Bus Plunges Into Po River in Turin, Driver Killed

The empty bus fell during a reverse maneuver, killing the driver and injuring three pedestrians, with investigations ongoing into the cause.

A tour bus fell into the Po River in central Turin on March 26, 2025, during a reverse maneuver near the Vittorio Emanuele I Bridge.
The 64-year-old driver was rescued from the water but later died from his injuries; no passengers were on board at the time of the accident.
Three female pedestrians sustained minor injuries and received medical treatment at the scene.
Authorities are investigating whether the accident resulted from a failed maneuver or a medical emergency involving the driver.
The bus had earlier transported a school group from Milan to the Egyptian Museum in Turin, averting a larger tragedy as the children were not on board.
