"Unveiling the Victims: Venice Crash Sparks Controversial Road Debate in Italy"

The identities of the 21 tourists killed in a coach crash near Venice have been confirmed, including nine Ukrainians, a toddler from Germany, and a pregnant Croatian woman on her honeymoon. Controversy is mounting over Italy's aging road infrastructure, with debate focusing on the condition of the guardrail involved in the crash. The main theory is that the driver made a hazardous maneuver or fell ill, as there were no signs of braking or contact with other vehicles. Critics argue that the tragedy could have been avoided if newer, more secure barriers had been in place.
